A simple model for the bursting electrical activity of individual pancreatic $\beta$-cells is introduced. Using the model, a continuum model for collections (islets) of large numbers of such cells is then analyzed, using asymptotic methods, linear stability techniques, and monotone methods. When the coupling strength D is large, fast and slow subsystems for the continuum model are shown to be the same as those for the single cell if the slow variables are replaced by their spatial average. It is demonstrated that fast variables can synchronize while the slow variables simultaneously exhibit nonsynchronous behavior. Last, spatial inhomogeneities in slow subsystem parameters are shown to inactivate the islet. It is demonstrated that if a sufficient fraction of cells are inactive, the average value of the slow variables can be decreased significantly.
