        abstract = {What causes diabetes? Diabetes happens when our body does not make insulin. This can be because our body does not make any insulin at all, or it does not make enough insulin for what our body needs. Sometimes our body makes insulin. It is not good insulin. Another reason is that our cells are not able to use insulin. This leads to a lot of sugar in our blood. That is what causes diabetes. [1]  
The problem with cells not using insulin properly affects the cells in our muscles and fat. This is called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is the problem in type 2 diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, our body does not make any insulin because the cells in our pancreas that make insulin are damaged. In type 2 diabetes, these cells get damaged over time. That makes our blood sugar levels go up. [2]
We get a type of sugar called glucose from food. Our body needs glucose to have energy. When we eat our body, breaks down the carbohydrates into glucose. The glucose goes into our bloodstream. Then to all the cells in our body. Glucose needs help to get into our cells. That is where insulin comes in. Insulin helps glucose get into our cells. Without diabetes insulin, our cells do not get the glucose they need even if there is a lot of glucose in our blood. This can happen in some types of diabetes. It is like our cells are starving even though there is a lot of glucose around. Our body gets rid of the glucose by putting it in our urine. Diabetes is a condition that happens when our body has a lot of glucose in the blood. [3]
Our body needs glucose to work properly. We need insulin to help the glucose get into our cells. Without insulin, we would not be able to use the glucose we get from food. That is why insulin is so important for people with diabetes. Diabetes is a condition. We can learn more, about diabetes by reading about insulin resistance and diabetes. [4]},
