Metabolism is the process by which food is broken down and used by the body for energy. When food is digested, a sugar called
glucose enters the bloodstream. Glucose is a source of fuel for the body. Insulin, produced by your body's pancreas is secreted and moves glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, and liver cells to power the body.
People with diabetes have high blood sugar because either their pancreas does not make enough insulin, or their muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond to insulin in a normal manner and should follow a
Diabetic Diet.
