What is Diabetes?

• Diabetes is a condition where the amount of
  glucose in your blood is too high because the
  body cannot use it properly.
• This is because your pancreas doesnt produce any
  insulin, or not enough insulin, to help glucose
  enter your bodys cells or the insulin that is
  produced does not work properly

What is Insulin?

• Insulin is the hormone created by the pancreas
  that allows glucose to go into the bodys cells,
  where it is used as fuel for power so we can
  work, play and usually live our lives. It is
  essential for life.
• Glucose comes from digesting carbohydrate and is
  also produced by the liver

• If you have diabetes, your body cannot make
  proper use of this glucose so it builds up in the
  blood and cant be used as fuel.
• Insulin serves as a key to open your cells, to
  allow the glucose to enter -- and allow you to
  use the glucose for energy
