No
In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin, but the cells don't respond to it as they should. This is called insulin resistance. When glucose can't get into cells, the blood sugar level rises.
Pancreas secrete insulin in the body
If your cells become too resistant to insulin, it leads to elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), which, over time, leads to prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes.
