Clinical Information
A disease in which the body does not control the amount of glucose (a type of sugar) in
the blood and the kidneys make a large amount of urine. This disease occurs when the
body does not make enough insulin or does not use it the way it should.
Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or sugar, levels are too high. Glucose
comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your
cells to give them energy. With type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With
type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well.
Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood.over time, having too much
glucose in your blood can cause serious problems. It can damage your eyes, kidneys, and
nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb.
Pregnant women can also get diabetes, called gestational diabetes.a blood test can show if
you have diabetes. Exercise, weight control and sticking to your meal plan can help
control your diabetes. You should also monitor your glucose level and take medicine if
prescribed.
