Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Most people鈥檚 bodies naturally produce the hormone insulin, which helps convert sugars from the food we eat into energy that the body can use or store for later. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn鈥檛 make insulin or doesn鈥檛 use its insulin well, causing your blood sugar to rise. High blood sugar levels can cause serious health problems over time. There are different types of diabetes, and it鈥檚 important to stay informed so you understand your risks and how to best prevent the disease.
