Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body does not make or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert sugar, starches, and other food into energy. People with diabetes have increased blood glucose (sugar) levels because they lack insulin, have insufficient insulin, or are resistant to insulin's effects.
