What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body is not able to properly process the food that is taken in to then produce for energy. Most of the food that we eat is turned into glucose or sugar, this is done so our bodies can use it for energy. The organ that lies near the stomach is the pancreas, which creates the hormone insulin, the insulins help the glucose move into the cells of our bodies. When you are diagnosed with diabetes, its due to your body not naturally being able to make enough insulin or cannot use its own stored insulin as well as it should. If it cannot produce enough insulin, your blood sugar levels in your blood rise.
Diabetes is known to cause serious health concerns including kidney failure, becoming blind, heart disease and lower-body amputations.
