Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce
or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is
needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into
energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes
continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and
environmental factors such as obesity and lack of
exercise appear to play roles.
