What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease of the metabolic process. Our metabolic process is what the way our bodies use digested food for energy and growth.

Most food that is processed through our bodies is broken down by digestive fluid into a sugar known as glucose.
Glucose is the source power of our bodies .

When we eat something, and our food is processed, the pancreas is supposed to produce the proper amount of glucose from our blood automatically and bring out the proper amount of insulin into our blood.

In people with diabetes, little to no insulin is produced or the body’s cells do not react correctly to the insulin that is produced. So the glucose ramps up and overflows into the urine and passes out of the body.

This is how the body loses its primary source of fuel even though the bloodstream contains good amounts of the natural glucose.

There are three cases of diabetes, case 1, case 2 and gestational diabetes. People who have case 1 are known as insulin-dependent.

This is an autoimmune disease where the body’s natural system is fighting against another part of the body. In the case of case 1 diabetes, the system attacks the insulin producing cells and ruins it.

Therefore the pancreas can produce little to no insulin.
These people are in need of daily injections of insulin to live.
