What is Diabetes?
Your body needs energy. It turns much of the food you eat into glucose (sugar) for your body to use as energy. The pancreas, an organ near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin. Insulin helps glucose get into your body’s cells. When you have diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use its own insulin very well. But, your body continues to convert the food you eat into glucose, so guess what happens? Your body has too much blood sugar. This is diabetes.
