Diabetes is a disorder caused by nutritional deficiency and a bad diet, resulting in a problem with the pancreatic hormone insulin. Insulin controls the amount of glucose in the blood and the rate that it is absorbed. Your cells need glucose to produce energy. In people with this disease, glucose or sugar builds up in their blood stream instead of being used by the cells to produce energy. Diabetes is characterized by abnormally elevated blood glucose and by the excretion of the excess glucose in the urine. The build up of glucose in your blood steam is called hyperglycemia. Diabetes can lead to damaged blood vessels, which can cause a number of problems such as: heart disease, eye diseases, and nerve damage in the limbs and internal organs, kidney disease; infections of the mouth, gums, lungs, skin, feet, bladder, and the genital area.
