When you eat, your stomach produces glucose that acts like an acid to break down the food, pass it into your blood and absorb it into the body tissues. Insulin packs the food into your body tissues and, at the same time, flushes the excess glucose out of your body. Insulin is made by the pancreas and diabetes occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin to do these two jobs. Therefore an excess of glucose also builds up in the blood and bercause it is acidic, it eats away at your body's blood vessels. It attacks the liver, kidneys, eye retinas and the toes causing kidney disease, blindness and sometimes requiring amputation of the feet. So, the second part of your question is correct: the cells cannot deliver energy without insulin but there is also a build up of glucose in the blood which attacks the blood vessels.

Diabetes is the inability of a body to either produced insulin, produce enough insulin, or to use the insulin it does produce efficiently.  It cause glucose (blood sugar) to rise to dangerous levels in the blood stream.\n\nThere are different types of the disease with different causes.\n\nType 1 is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.  It most often occurs in children and young adults, but can occur at any age.  The only treatment is for the patient to take insulin, either with daily injections or the use of a pump worn that supplies insulin.  There is no cure.  Without insulin therapy, a Type 1 diabetic will die.\n\nType 2 is genetically linked (if one parent has it, you have a 50-50 chance of getting it; if both do, you are probably going to develop it as well).  It often occurs in middle to old age, but can occur in younger people, especially if they are overweight.  In some people, losing weight can make the symptoms go away with no further treatment.  Others control it with diet.  Still others take oral medications that cause the body to be more sensitive to the insulin that they produce.  Some Type 2 diabetics will need to take insulin and their disease will be treated in much the way that Type 1 diabetes is treated.  Treatment varies from patient to patient, depending on how severe the symptoms are.\n\nGestational diabetes is Type 2 diabetes that occurs while a woman is pregnant, and usually subsides once she has delivered.  A woman who develops Gestational diabetes is likely to develop Type 2 diabetes when she is older.

I'm with the other guys on this one, but not taking care of diabetes can also lead to losing limbs. I know people who have lost legs because they haven't looked after their diabetes properly

I had a long explanation, but there is a more concise version at\n\nhttp://www.diabetes.org/about-diabetes.jsp\n\nClick on the menu at the left. There are two types of "sugar" diabetes. The most common is Type II (insulin insensitivity, most often associated with obesity).\n\nDiabetes is a wasting disease, eventually starving cells of needed glucose. It leads to and/or exacerbates other medical problems in the eyes, kidneys, numb toes, infections, etc. If you have it, work with your doctor to keep it VERY WELL CONTROLLED. Too many people have had amputated limbs, or need renal dialysis, or lost sight from this disease.

(a) is the correct answer.

Diabetes is not a disability. It is a medical condition.\nEasily controlled for most with the proper diet, exercise and the use of oral or injectible medications.\nA diabietic disability would be for the type of diabetic that doesn't control your blood sugar levels, and say goes into kidney failure and needs diaylisis, or goes blind, or has some body part amputated THEN they would qualify for disability.

ok..in english diabetes is the inability of cells to use sugar in the blood due to either a lack of insulin (produced by the pancreas) or the inability for a cell to transport sugar across the cell. because your cells cannot use the sugar it stays in limbo between the cells (high blood sugar)until it is filtered out through the kidneys (this causes alot of pressure and can destroy them). the high blood sugar also puts alot of pressure on the eyes that can cause blindness. another effect if left untreated is pariphial neuropathy..a big word for loss of circulation and feeling in the lower extremities (legs) this can lead to sores that cannot heal (because the cells cannot use the sugar for energy) these are things that do not happen all at once but over time. If you do not keep your sugar under control these things WILL happen...PLEASE take this disease seriously...many times the treatment is diet and exercise depending on how much insulin your pancreas does produce..if this does not work you will need to take medicine every day for the rest of your life (which is much better than the consiquences of not treating it ....amputation, blindness, kidney failure, stroke, heart attack, ect...this list continues to grow.

Lots of things you should be more explicit, Diabetes type one is a condition that where the pancreas more no insulin and is needed to be injected daily. Diabetes type two is when the pancreas makes little insulin or too much but the receptors in the cells don't match up so the insulin can't get in to bring the sugar down. Complications range from amputaions to blindness.

Diabetes is a condition in which your glucose is too high.  As of this date, there is no cure- only treatment.  You can read more about diabetes and the treatments available here\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/faq/basics.htm

Everyone is different. My son has type 1, I don't have diabetes. In my case, it would be the same as before I ate.

What exactly is your question here? What type of diabetes are  you referring. Type 2, you would expect an elevated insulin level, especially in the early years.

I'm a Type 2 diabetic myself, and I can speak from experience here...if I eat something heavy in sugar or carbs, especially without anything else in my system, my body "crashes" after the initial sugar rush wears off.  One of the big problems with Type 2 is the wild variations in blood sugar count at any given time...it's like your bidy doesn't react in any stable way to big swings in blood sugar count.

If the weight was lost during exercise, then the answer is "D".  If not through exercise, then "C".

It depends what type of Diabetes you have. Is it type one or type two. Is it Hypo-glycemic or Hyper-glycemia.
