350 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes, with an estimated 50 million more undiagnosed. Diabetes is a medical condition that prevents the body from producing or responding to the hormone insulin. Insulin is produced by the pancreas after eating and helps send the glucose from food to our blood and cells. Without enough insulin, the body is unable to process glucose efficiently. Blood sugar provides the body with energy to keep muscles and tissue healthy. Low levels of insulin cause blood sugar to build up and this excess glucose in the bloodstream causes many health problems.
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are chronic, lifelong diseases. There is no cure for diabetes but medication and diet can be used to control the symptoms and help the body regulate and respond to insulin more efficiently.
