What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. It involves the pancreas’s inability to produce enough insulin or the body’s inability to use the insulin effectively. Insulin is a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar (glucose) into your cells, which is needed for energy. Without proper insulin function, glucose stays in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels. Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.
