Content Summary :
Diabetes means that your blood glucose (sugar) is too high. Your blood
always has some glucose in it because the body uses glucose for energy;
it’s the fuel that keeps you going. But too much glu-cose in the blood
is not good for your health.Your body changes most of the food you eat
into glucose. Your blood takes the glucose to the cells throughout your
body. The glucose needs insulin to get into the body’s cells. Insulin
is a hor-mone made in the pancreas, an organ near the stomach. The
pancreas releases insulin into the blood. Insulin helps the glucose
from food get into body cells. If your body does not make enough
insu-lin or the insulin does not work right, the glucose can't get into
the cells, so it stays in the blood. This makes your blood glucose
level high, causing you to have diabetes.If not controlled, diabetes
can lead to blindness, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure,
amputations (having a toe or foot removed, for example), and nerve
damage. In women, diabetes can cause problems during pregnancy and make
it more likely that your baby will be born with birth defects.
