Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot properly process sugar due to a lack of insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. There are two main types of diabetes - Type 1 where the body does not produce insulin at all, and Type 2 where the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious health complications and even death over time.
