Diabetes isn't caused by either bacteria or a virus. It is to do with your pancreas not creating enough insulin which regulates the amount of sugar in your blood. There are two types of Diabetes type 1 and type 2. People are born with type 1 diabetes which means their pancreas does not create enough/any insulin. Before they eat a meal they must inject themselves with insulin, this controlls the amount of sugar in the blood so it doesn't become too high and create hyperglycaemia. If the diabetic didn't inject themselves with insulin they would be at risk of dying. To avoid their blood sugar levels rising dramatically they also watch what they eat and do regular exercise.

Is Diabetes a virus or bacteria?

Diabetes is neither a virus or a bacteria. Diabetes is an abnormally high blood sugar level caused by a person's inability to process glucose due to insufficient insulin production. On the contrary: Diabetes type 1 can be caused by a virus, (and sometimes in diabetes type 2). Research has found that viral infections occur mainly in the beta cells of the pancreas. They can effect the structure and function of the pancreas in producing enough insulin, thus causing diabetes in severe cases. The coxsackie viruses are the main ones being implicated.
