pancreasDiabetes is one of the common disease affects millions every year. Doctor may have warned about this but it may be ignored at the earlier stage with out knowing the seriousness of this disease. Even though there is no known cure for diabetes, there are several treatments which control this disease.
Human body is made of millions of cells which need energy to function. The food we eat is turned into sugar called glucose and this is carried to cells through blood. Glucose is one of the importance ingredient to create energy needed by cells. When glucose reaches cells it must have enough “doors” or receptors to receive this and insulin to unlock this glucose.Insulin is a hormone created in pancreas. Diabetes make it difficult to have enough energy for the cells. With out energy cells will die.

If Pancreas is not producing enough insulin then it will be difficult to release the energy from glucose and it is called Type I diabetes.  Type II diabetes occur when you have enough insulin but there is a decrease in number of receptors on cells to allow glucose to enter, called a situation called “insulin resistance”. Type II are more common. Even though reasons are unknown for diabetes, it is proven that it is not contagious.
