As we live in the Century of Speed we often forget or do not have time to take care of ourselves. Eating smart, doing exercise and having a healthy life is for most of us impossible. Therefore our bodies are weak in front of various dangers, such as diseases.

Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by the body's impossibility to produce enough or effective insulin (the hormone produced by the pancreas that transfers the glucose from food to blood, where it is transformed into energy).
