Diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Most of the food you eat is broken down into sugar (also called glucose) and released into your bloodstream. If you have diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use the insulin it makes as it should do. When there isn’t enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, such conditions can cause serious health problems, including heart disease, vision loss, kidney disease, etc.
