scharnhorst explained it very well sir uls.. galing nga e..!
hmmm. let me explain in ways we can understand better.. (ganito ako usually, hehe!)
since nasa car forums tayo dapat car-related, hehe!
okay lets say your engine air filter is the kidney, and the air passing through is the blood..
high blood pressure puts too much task on your kidneys as too much air can rip off your filter.
in the long run (chronic hypertension) your air filter gives way (kidney damage, renal failure), lessening its efficiency. with this, contaminants can easily damage your engine, limiting its use or destroying it eventually as it is not able to push out wastes (increasing creatinine), needing overhaul (dialysis first, then worst, kidney transplant). protein is needed by the body thats why your kidneys recycles this. and with its decreasing efficiency, it excretes the needed proteins and accumulates the waste creatinine. this is why protein is present in urine, and increasing creatinine in kidney failure patients caused by hypertension..

there is some truth in what you say.. if you follow this line of tinking.
but its not the problem of the beta cells.. it the receptors.. (masyado na itong biochemical explanation) and its not burning it out faster..
if you stimulate the receptors to be more sensitive to the glucose present, the secreted insulin will facilitate this glucose metabolism. decreasing your blood sugar by using your own insulin. it is not that your beta cells are not doing their job, but there is just much that they can take.
there are a lot of issues on medical managements too.. and medicine is ever evolving more rapidly with evidence-based medicine. what can be true now, can be a thing of the past later. (like treatment of schizophrenia before involves "trephining" or opening a hole on the skull at specified locations which we can say bizarre but has been done. only later it is treated w/ oral medications)..

ya i know it's not the beta cells. nagpo-produce pa naman ng insulin eh. so the beta cells are still working. my point is why take drugs to make the pancreas produce more insulin when insulin isnt the problem. the problem is the body is ignoring the insulin. so instead of increasing the amount of insulin, insulin sensitivity has to be restored
type 2 diabetics usually end up injecting insulin. so that means eventually the pancreatic beta cells cannot produce insulin anymore. kaya i used the term "burn out". what causes the beta cells to stop producing insulin in type 2 diabetes? i think it's the intake of sulfonylureas. those drugs force the pancreas to produce more insulin. years of taking those drugs burn out the beta cells

With the guidelines I have access to... usually metformin ang 1st line drug... which sensitizes the tissues to insulin (especially the liver)
SUs are for those na mas mahirap i control ang blood sugar since it has a propensity to cause hypoglycemia.
there is *some* receptor dysfunction but saturating the receptors with insulin will still provoke response from the peripheral tissues, hence the effectiveness of SUs and insulin replacement therapy in those with Type 2 DM
and yes, exercise does sensitize tissues to insulin
