Diabetes Fact Sheet

March 3, 2015

About Diabetes:

Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or is unable to use insulin, a hormone secreted by special cells called beta cells in the pancreas. The body needs insulin to allow blood sugar (glucose) to enter the body’s cells and be metabolized into energy. When glucose cannot enter the body’s cells, blood glucose levels rise.
