Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough of its own insulin or actively destroys it due to an autoimmune response, leading to uncontrolled blood glucose levels. These uncontrolled, usually high glucose levels can affect the entire body in negative ways, from the health of the eyes to the function of the kidneys.
