In diabetics, factory cells in the pancreas that pump out insulin also produce a destructive substance that can eventually kill the cells that produced it. Baboons become obese and develop Type 2 diabetes like humans. Those protein deposits kill off the insulin-producing beta cells that also make IAPP.

At the same time, the deposits also seem to lead to growth of alpha cells in the pancreas that produce glucagon -- a substance that tells the liver to release stored blood sugar between meals. While the protein was present in animals whose blood sugar was only slightly high, it rose along with blood sugar as the disease progressed.
