What is Diabetes? Will I Need Insulin?
Every cell in the body requires energy to perform its functions. One of the primary fuels the body uses to supply energy to cells is glucose, a sugar produced in the body from food sources. Without glucose, the cell runs out of energy and dies.
After eating, the level of blood sugar rises. A special molecule called insulin is required to transfer the sugar from the blood into the cells for the production of energy.
Located in the pancreas are some special cells called the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans. These are the cells that produce insulin.
