we turn food into energy that we use, it has
multiple stages from 1-4, and 2 types.
Your body breaks down food into glucose and
releases it into your blood. When your blood
sugar goes up, it tells your pancreas to
release insulin,
lack of insulin
causes diabetes.
Insulin is
a hormone produced in
the pancreas by
the
islets
of Langerhans,
which
regulates
the
amount of glucose in the
blood.

Diabetes is a chronic illness affecting how our bodies convert food into energy. It is characterized by high blood sugar levels due to insufficient insulin production or resistance. Symptoms include increased thirst, hunger, and fatigue. Genetics, lack of physical activity, and unhealthy eating habits contribute to the risk of developing diabetes. While some cases are genetic, individuals can prevent diabetes through healthy eating, regular exercise, adequate hydration, and medication.
