diabetes care

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that causes higher-than-normal blood sugar levels. Over time, the excess sugar in your blood damages blood vessels and organs, increasing your risk of developing other health issues, such as retinopathy, kidney disease, neuropathy, and heart disease.  The sugar in your blood comes from the food you eat and provides every cell in your body with the energy it needs to function properly. Your pancreas makes and secretes a hormone called insulin, which helps transport the sugar from your blood into the cells. If you have diabetes, either your pancreas isn't producing enough insulin (or any at all) or the insulin isn't functioning as it should.
