Diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2), one of the most prevalent medical conditions in today’s society, is caused by the body’s inability to process sugars properly. In 
a healthy person, the body can break down and process consumed sugars, called glucose, naturally and then circulate it into the blood stream where is will wait for a hormone which is produced by the pancreas to incorporate it into the body’s cells. A healthy pancreas works to adjust the levels of insulin in the body, based on the amounts of glucose present. In a diabetic person, the glucose break down does not occur properly and the body’s level of sugar will get too high.
