   Diabetes is a chronic disease or disorder which shows the excess level of sugar in the blood. The Insulin is a hormone which is produced by the pancreas to control blood sugar. Diabetes can also be caused by very little insulin, or because of the resistance to insulin or both. In order to understand diabetes , it is very important to know about the normal process by which the food is broken down and is used by the body for the transformation of energy. Several things happen when the food is digested:
   
   A matter named glucose enters the bloodstream. Glucose is a source of fuel for body. An organ makes insulin which is named as pancreas. Insulin moves glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat and liver cells, where it can also be used as fuel. People with diabetes have high level of blood sugar in their blood. This is because the pancreas does not make the required insulin. The muscle, fat and liver cells do not respond to the insulin normally. Diabetes affects more than 20 million people in America. Almost 40 million Americans have prediabetes. There are many types of factors for 2 types of diabetes that include:
