Diabetes,sometimes also called Adult onset diabetes and/or Non-insulin dependent diabetes. Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose or sugar levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods we eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. Type 1 diabetes is the type of diabetes in which your body does not make insulin. Type 2 diabetes is the more common type of diabetes. Your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin the glucose stays in your blood Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can damage your eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb. Pregnant women can also get diabetes which is called gestational diabetes. Diabetes affects blood glucose levels. If they are too high damage can occur. Insulin regulates these levels normally. About 17 million americans have diabetes but 5 million dont know it.
