Insulin. In type I diabetes, injecting the individual with insulin would yield a rapid decrease in blood sugar levels. This is because they are lacking the cells which produce insulin, not the insulin receptors. On the other hand, in an individual with type II diabetes, there would be little to no change in blood sugar levels after the injection. This is because they have desensitized insulin receptors, though they still have the capability to produce insulin.
