Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the human body does not make, or does not properly use, insulin. This is caused by the malfunctioning of an organ called Pancreas. Insulin is the hormone that helps your body use the energy from sugar, starches and other foods. The result is that your body doesn’t get the energy it needs, and unmetabolized sugar (glucose), builds up in the blood causing damage to the body and its systems.
