Diabetes Advice Centre - Coping With Diabetes

Diabetes happens when the body cannot make or use insulin correctly.  Insulin is a hormone that turns the sugars in the foods we eat into energy.  When a person has diabetes, too much sugar stays in the blood.  This can damage different parts of the body, including the heart, blood vessels, eyes, nerves and kidneys.  There are a few different types of diabetes: The good news is that diabetes can often be prevented by healthy habits like a good diet and exercise.  If someone already has diabetes, he or she can learn to control it and reduce the risk of complications.
