Living With Diabetes

What is diabete? Diabetes is a disease which affects sugar metabolism. It occurs because one of your organs, the pancreas, is not working properly. When food is digested in your stomach, it is broken down into glucose (A form of sugar). The glucose travels in the bloodstream to the cell of your body, Providing them with energy.
The pancreas makes insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose and other nutrients enter the cells. When the pancreas dose not produce enough insulin your cells can't get the glucose they need. The glucose stays in your bloodstream instead of going into the cells. That is why your blood glucose levels are high and, as a side effect of this, you end up feeling tired.
You should go over the following health concerns with your doctor or diabetes educator.
