What is Diabetes and how do you go about Controlling Diabetes?
When you have diabetes there is too much sugar in your blood. After you eat, your food is broken down into a sugar called glucose, which is carried by your blood to cells throughout your body. Insulin, a hormone, helps the glucose move from the bloodstream into cells, where it is burned as energy to keep your body functioning. People with diabetes either don’t make enough insulin or their cells don’t recognize insulin. The result in both cases is that glucose in the bloodstream can’t get into cells to be used for energy, and instead builds up in the blood.
