A SURVEY ON DIABETES MELLITUS

Abstract

Diabetes occurs when our blood glucose, also called blood sugar is vey high. blood glucose is our main source of energy and comes mainly from the food we eat. Insulin ,a hormone made by the pancreas, helps the glucose in our blood get into our cells to be used for energy. In most persons with type1 diabetes the body’s immune system, which normally fights infection, attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. As a result our pancreas stops making insulin. without insulin, glucose can’t get into our cells and our blood glucose rises above normal
