Diabetes

Diabetes occurs when there are high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. All three types of diabetes involve problems with insulin, a hormone that removes glucose from the blood and allows it to enter the body’s cells. (The cells use it for energy.) If your body is unable to make or use insulin properly, you have a high blood glucose level.
