Diabetes is a condition where there is too much glucose (sugar) in the blood. This may occur if the body is unable to produce enough insulin or the insulin is not working properly. Glucose is the main source of energy for our bodies and comes from carbohydrates. Some foods which contain carbohydrates include breads, cereals, potato, milk and fruit. Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. This hormone is responsible for opening up the muscle, fat and liver cells in the body so they can store glucose and use it for energy. Without insulin, the cells in the body would not be able to use glucose for energy, which means the body would not have any energy.
