The pancreas is a gland behind the stomach and in front of the spine. It produces juices that help break down food and hormones that help control blood sugar levels. In type 1 diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas no longer make insulin because the body's immune system has damaged the insulin producing cells of pancreas. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas loses the ability to secrete enough insulin in response to meals.
