Question

Which hormone deficiency causes diabetes? What is the function of this hormone?

Explanation:

Diabetes occurs when the pancreas, a gland behind the stomach, does not produce enough of the hormone insulin, or the body can't use insulin properly. Insulin helps carry sugar from the bloodstream into the cells.
