Diabetes is a chronic disease related to the ability of the body to utilize sugars. There are two forms, either the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or alternatively, the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is the hormone that regulates blood sugar. Hyperglycemia, or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels.
