Introduction

Diabetes is a condition in which our blood glucose, often known as blood sugar, is abnormally high. our main source of energy is blood glucose, which comes from the food we eat. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, aids glucose absorption into cells for use as energy. Sometimes our body doesn't produce enough — or any — insulin, or it doesn't use it properly. Glucose remains in our circulation and does not reach our cells as a result. Having too much glucose in our blood leads to health issues over time.
