Diabetes is a disease that affects the way your body processes sugar (glucose). In
type 2 diabetes, your body becomes resistant to the effects of the hormone
insulin, which controls
blood sugar levels. In
type 1 diabetes, your body fails to produce insulin altogether. There are many ways to manage diabetes, including diet, exercise, medication, and careful monitoring, but there is no cure.
