Explanation: Here is more information on diabetes I found on the web in an article (This information is not mine) Also be sure to check out others on Brainly that may have this answer Thanks!

Diabetes is a disease of metabolism, which is the way the body uses food for energy and growth.1 In particular, it's related to one of the food nutrients that supply energy, called carbohydrates.2 Normally, the stomach and intestines digest the carbohydrates in food into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is the body's main source of energy. After digestion, the glucose moves into the blood to give the body energy.

To get the glucose out of blood and into the body's cells, the pancreas makes a hormone called insulin. In diabetes, either the body doesn't make enough insulin, or the cells can't use it the way they should. Instead, the glucose builds up in the blood, causing diabetes, otherwise known as high blood sugar.

The exact causes of diabetes are not fully understood and typically involve multiple factors, such as genetics and interactions with the environment.      

Thank you Have a great day! Also, if you would be so kind as to give me Brainliest that would be great!
