Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin; insulin is the hormone that converts food into energy. There are numerous types of diabetes, the most common of which is type 2. Actually, about 95% of people with diabetes have type 2.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that unfortunately has no cure and can cause many serious complications such as eye disease, kidney failure, and nerve damage that can lead to amputation. Having diabetes can significantly increase your risk of stroke and heart disease.
