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, MAKE A HORMONE CALLED INSULIN TO HELP GLUCOSE GET INTO THE CELLS OF OUR BODIES. WHEN YOU HAVE DIABETES, YOUR BODIES EITHER DOES NOT MAKE ENOUGH INSULIN OR CAN NOT USE IT’S OWN INSULIN AS WELL AS IT SHOULD.THIS CAUSES SUGAR TO BUILD UP IN YOUR BLOOD.
