## Abstract Ion channels in beta cells regulate electrical and secretory activity in response to metabolic, pharmacologic, or neural signals by controlling the permeability to K^+^ and Ca^2+^. The ATPβsensitive K^+^ channels act as a switch that responds to fuel secretagogues or sulfonylureas to in
