When you have diabetes, your body in unable able to take sugar (glucose) into its cells to use for energy. This happens if:
- Your pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin – the hormone that helps glucose enter cells throughout the body.
- Your body doesn’t properly use the insulin it produces – a state called insulin resistance.
While there are different types of diabetes, each with a different cause or causes, they all share the commonality of buildup of excess glucose in the bloodstream. In many cases, people with diabetes can reduce their glucose levels by taking medication and monitoring their levels.
