Diabetes is a condition that happens when the level of glucose in your blood, known as blood sugar, is elevated. Glucose serves as the primary source of energy for your body. Glucose can be produced by your body, but it is also obtained from the food you consume.
Insulin, produced by the pancreas, aids in transferring glucose into cells for energy utilization. If you suffer from diabetes, your body either does not produce adequate amounts of insulin, or cannot effectively utilize insulin. Glucose remains in your bloodstream and does not make its way to your cells.
Diabetes increases the likelihood of harm to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart. Diabetes is associated with certain forms of cancer as well. By taking preventative measures, you can reduce the likelihood of experiencing health complications associated with diabetes.
