Diabetes is a disease where the body fails to properly produce or use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that turns sugars and other foods into another form or energy that can be used by the cells that make up the entire body.
What is Diabetes?
Type 1 Diabetes:
-When the body can not produce insulin, which is a hormone that causes the cells to absorb glucose for fuel.
-About 5-10% of people have type one diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes
-This is when the body manages to produce insulin but fails to use it properly.
There are other kinds of diabetes too, like gestational which occurs only in pregnant women who’s bodies that struggle to compensate for both the baby and herself. and pre-diabetes that is a minor version of type 2 diabetes.
