Diabetes Guide: Types, Risks, Symptoms, and Management
Diabetes is a disease caused by changing how your body uses food for energy. When we eat food, typically, it’s broken down by our body into sugar (glucose), which flows into the bloodstream. It causes the pancreas to produce insulin, which delivers glucose into cells for fuel. With diabetes, you’re either unable to make enough insulin or are incapable of using it correctly, and so your blood sugar is elevated. And in the long run, that sugar is what causes terrible health problems, including heart disease, blindness, and kidney failure.
