B is Obesity (5)

C is Diabetes (1)

D is Type 1 (6)

Here is why:

A. Hormone that helps the body control the level of glucose in the blood.

Insulin is a hormone. It helps regulate the levels of glucose in the blood by turning glucose into energy. This is why it plays an important role in metabolism. This hormone is produced by the pancreas.

B. Main cause of Type 2 Diabetes

Obesity is the main cause of Type 2 diabetes. Unhealthy eating and lack of exercise are often listed as causes of Diabetes 2, and this kind of lifestyle collectively leads to obesity.

C. Condition that makes it hard for the body to control the level of glucose in the blood.

Diabetes is a condition where the levels of glucose in the blood is high. This happens because the body cannot produce enough insulin, which is the hormone that controls glucose levels.

D. Damage to the pancreas caused by ones own antibodies.

In Diabetes Type 1, the immune system attacks the panceatic beta cells, which produce insulin. Unlike Type 2, Type 1 Diabetes is unavoidable and hereditary. So if you have it, you have it.

E. The elevation of glucose levels in the blood.

Hyperglycemia - Hyper means high or elevated. Gly means glucose or sugar. -cemia means blood. Put together, elevated glucose in the blood.  

F. Found to help with treatment of clinical depression

Studies have shown that aerobic exercise can help with clinical depression. It helps elevate moods and lessen tension. This helps relieve stress.

G. Organ where insulin is produced

Like mentioned above, insulin is produced by the pancreas.

H. "Good" Cholesterol

HDL is High-density Lipoprotein. HDL is considered as good cholesterol because it actually assists in removing other forms of cholesterol from the blood.

I. 90% to 95% of the case of diabetes in America

Studies have shown that in America Diabetes 2 is the most common case. Like mentioned above, cause of Diabetes type 2 is eating habits and lack of exercise and many foods today are full of processed sugars and are consumed in great amounts because of convenience.

J. Hardening of the arteries caused by a build up of fatty materials.

Fatty materials create plaque and they accumulate in the blood vessels. This leads to constriction and hardening in arteries specifically. This constriction makes the vessel more narrow and it can limit the flow of oxygen to the other organs of the body.
