Diabetes is a disease affecting how our bodies metabolize, or digest food. Our bodies process food into glucose, a form of sugar in our blood that our cells use for energy and growth. The glucose passes into individual cells with the help of a special hormone called insulin. Insulin is made by the pancreas. Normally, the pancreas makes the appropriate amount of insulin to complete the glucose transfer from the blood to cells. A diabetic's pancreas, however, either produces no insulin, not enough insulin, or the cells are resistant to the insulin such that glucose is not absorbed into the cell. Instead, the unabsorbed glucose is passed into our urine and exits the body. The result is that body does not obtain enough fuel at the cellular level to properly run.
