The disabling condition of diabetes happens when the level of your blood
sugar rises to an excessive level because not enough of the hormone insulin is
produced by your body, or the insulin your body produces doesn’t work
correctly.
Insulin, which is produced by the pancreas, helps the cells of the body to
absorb sugars produced by food.
