Diabetes is a number of diseases that involve problems with the hormone insulin. Normally, the pancreas (an organ behind the stomach) releases insulin to help your body store and use the sugar and fat from the food you eat.
Insulin is a hormone, normally produced in sufficient amounts by the healthy human pancreas. Its role is to facilitate the final digestion of glucose by the human body. When insulin is lacking (diabetes), glucose remains undigested in the blood. The body isn't being fed, and the high blood sugar can cause damage, the ramifications of diabetes. The two major types of diabetes (type 1 and type 2, IDDM and NIDDM) are separated by presence of insulin.
