What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin properly.Insulin is a naturally occurring hormone in the blood that is necessary for providing our cells with energy to function.Insulin helps sugar (glucose) move from the bloodstream into the cells.When glucose cannot enter our cells, it builds up in the blood (hyperglycemia).This can lead to damage of organs including the eyes and kidneys, or damage of blood vessels and nerves.
