Comprehensive Services for Diabetes Management
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects how the body metabolizes blood glucose – the main type of sugar in the blood and a primary source of energy for the body. These sugars are moved from the bloodstream into the body’s muscles, tissues and brain cells with the help of insulin – a hormone produced by the pancreas.
If the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin, or the body can’t make effective use of the available insulin (insulin resistance), blood sugar levels rise.
