DIABETES
A person develops diabetes when his or her body either doesn’t produce insulin or doesn’t use the amount it produces properly. Insulin is a hormone that acts like a traffic cop for glucose levels in the bloodstream. When all is well, it can maintain glucose levels at the right amounts. When the system is failing, either because the pancreatic cells that produce insulin, called beta cells, are under attack from antibodies, or because your cells have become insulin-resistant, you’re at risk of developing diabetes. Living with the condition can lead to blindness, kidney failure, or lower limb amputation, all while increasing your likelihood of heart attack or stroke.
