What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is the condition in which the body does not properly process food for use as energy. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of four bodies. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use its own insulin as well asit should. This causes sugars to buildup in your blood. This is why many people refer to diabetes as “sugar”.
