Guide to Diabetes
It is estimated that more than 2000 new cases of diabetes
are diagnosed everyday in the United States alone. While
symptoms of Type 1 diabetes are usually obvious, Type
2 often shows few or no symptoms. After a meal, food
is broken down into a sugar called glucose, which is
carried by the blood to cells through out the body.
Cells use the hormone insulin, made in the pancreas,
to process blood glucose into energy.
