Diabetes begins in the pancreas, an organ in your body like your heart. Special cells in the pancreas, beta cells, make a substance called insulin ("in-SUH-lin"). Insulin helps feed your cells. Your body is made up of millions of tiny cells. To keep you healthy, these cells need to be fed. The food the cells eat is called glucose ("GLOO-kose"), or sugar. When you eat an apple, for example, your body turns the apple into glucose and sends that glucose into your blood. |
