In type 2 diabetes, the body's ability to release insulin is impaired, which leads to high blood glucose levels. Research led from Lund University shows how the levels of a particular protein are elevated in the pancreas of people with type 2 diabetes. By knocking out the gene for the protein IGFBP7, the researchers discovered that insulin secretion was improved. Reduced insulin secretion leads to
