What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose levels, also called blood sugar, are abnormal. Diabetes is a disease that affects how the body uses glucose. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat.

Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy. Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough—or any—insulin or doesn’t use insulin well.

Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells. Glucose remaining in your blood is what increases your blood sugar levels.

Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems.
