A. What is Diabetes
Diabetes is a lifelong disease in which the body doesn't produce or properly use insulin.
Insulin - is a hormone that unlocks ''doorways'' in cells and allows glucose that comes from sugar, starches, and other foods, to enter the cells and be used as energy.

B. Symptoms • Frequent urination • Unusual thirst • Extreme hunger • Blurred vision • Weight loss

C. Statistics
Diabetes is a serious condition with potentially devastating complications that affects all age groups worldwide. In 1985, an estimated 30 million people around the world were diagnosed with diabetes; in 2000, that figure rose to over 150 million, and it is projected to rise further to 380 million by 2025.
The International Diabetes Federation states that "every ten seconds, two people are diagnosed with diabetes somewhere in the world," and given the current trend, more people will have diabetes in 2025 than the current population of the United States, Canada and Austria combined.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States.

Insulin is a hormone that moderates the blood level. Diabetes affects the process of how the body uses blood sugar (American Diabetes Association, (2011)).
