diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) disease that affects
how your body turns food into energy.
most of the food you eat is broken down into sugar (also
called glucose) and released into your bloodstream. your
pancreas makes a hormone called insulin, which acts like
a key to let the blood sugar into your body's cells for use
as energy
if you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make
enough insulin or can't use the insulin it makes as well as
it should. when there isn't enough insulin or cells stop
responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in your
bloodstream, which over time can cause serious health
problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney
disease.
there isn't a cure vet for diabetes, but healthy lifestvle
the resource is invalid because it attempts to
make a false health claim.
