Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body converts food into energy. Normally, your body breaks down most of what you eat into glucose (sugar) and releases it into your bloodstream. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, helps move that sugar into your cells to be used for energy. When you have diabetes, either your body doesn’t make enough insulin or it doesn’t use insulin properly due to insulin sensitivity. This leads to high blood sugar levels, which, if unmanaged, can cause serious health complications.
