Diabetes, also known as the 'silent epidemic', is a chronic condition which occurs the body is incapable of producing effectively or enough insulin, the hormone produced by the pancreas which transfers the glucose from food to the cells in the body, where it is transformed into energy needed by the tissues and the muscles to function properly.

The body of a person suffering from diabetes cannot absorb glucose properly, therefore it stays in the blood and damages tissues over time, a process called hyperglycemia, which eventually leads to life-threatening health complications.
