Answer:

Diabetes:-

Diabetes is a serious condition that causes higher than normal blood sugar levels. Diabetes occurs when your body cannot make or effectively use its own insulin, a hormone made by special cells in the pancreas called islets (eye-lets). Insulin serves as a “key” to open your cells, to allow the sugar (glucose) from the food you eat to enter. Then, your body uses that glucose for energy.

But with diabetes, several major things can go wrong to cause diabetes. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are the most common forms of the disease, but there are also other kinds, such as gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy, as well as other forms.

Answer:

DIABETES

Diabetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes, is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar. The hormone insulin moves sugar from the blood into your cells to be stored or used for energy. With diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it does make.

Diabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels persistently rise to more than normal levels. It occurs when cells don’t respond to insulin (insulin resistance) or the pancreas fail to produce enough insulin required by the body.

TYPES

Types of diabetes: Diabetes can be classified into type 1 and type 2 based on the underlying causes:

Type 1 diabetes: It is a condition in which immune cells destroy the beta cells of pancreas that produce insulin.

Type 2 diabetes: It is a condition in which there are sufficient levels of glucose in the body but the cells cannot utilize this insulin due to insulin resistance.

CAUSES

Glucose is considered as fuel or energy for the cells. Glucose level in the body is regulated by insulin hormone as insulin helps in uptake of glucose by the cells. Beta cells present in the pancreas release insulin when blood glucose levels are high. Insulin helps to store glucose in muscle, fat, and liver for future use. When there is insulin production or action, glucose levels in the blood increases leading to hyperglycemia. If this condition is persistent, it may eventually lead to diabetes mellitus.
