Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns the food that you eat into energy.
Most of the food you eat is broken down into sugar (glucose) and released into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin 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.
There are 2 types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes is thought to be caused by an autoimmune reaction (the body attacks itself by mistake) that stops your body from making insulin.
Type 2 diabetes, your body doesn’t use insulin well and can’t keep blood sugar at normal levels.
