Diabetes is a disease that happens when the amount of glucose or blood sugar gets too high. Glucose is the main source of our body's energy which comes mostly from the food we eat. Normally insulin a hormone made by the pancreas helps glucose from our food getting to our cells for the use of energy. But what happens if we can't produce enough insulins or we produce none at all. With type 1 diabetes are bodies immune system destroys the cell in our pancreas these means are body can no longer make insulin and we need to take daily to live. In type 2 diabetes if our body doesn't use insulin well or the pancreas makes some insulin but not enough to carry sufficient glucose into our cells. Any way, we need to make up the difference by taking insulin or other diabetes medications to control our blood sugar. But either type of diabetes glucose levels in our blood can get to high which can lead to health problems including eye disease, kidney disease, Nerve disease, Heart disease.
