Barotrauma is an injury caused by a pressure difference between gas-filled spaces and tissues. Beta cells ( cells) are a type of cell found in the islets of the pancreas that synthesize and secrete insulin. 50-70% of the cells in human islets are beta cells. Patients with type I or type ii diabetes have diminished beta-cell mass and function, resulting in inadequate insulin secretion and hyperglycemia.
