If you have diabetes, you have levels of blood glucose that are too high because of problems with a hormone called insulin, which is secreted by the pancreas. Insulin is used by your cells to take glucose in so that it can be used for energy.

Diabetes is a disease which alters the way your body uses blood sugar, also known as glucose. The disease affects over 21 million people in the US. There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2, and each differs in the way the body uses and produces insulin.

Diabetes is a widespread disease that involves either the lack of insulin production (Type 1 Diabetes) or an inability of the body to use insulin, known as insulin resistance (Type 2 Diabetes). Insulin is a vital hormone secreted by the beta cells of an organ called the pancreas.
