Diabetes is a condition in which one's pancreas is not functioning correctly. The pancreas, among other things, secretes insulin, which regulates sugar levels in the body. So, in short, when you have diabetes, your pancreas does not work to maintain blood sugar levels in the blood.
People are born with type 1 diabetes, and people acquire type 2 diabetes.

What is glucose and why is it important?
Glucose is a type of sugar that serves as a major source of energy for cellular processes in the body. It is important because it is the primary energy source for our cells, including the brain. Glucose is obtained from the food we eat and is transported through the bloodstream to provide energy for various metabolic activities.
Why is it important that glucose be removed from diabetic patients?
I think it's because glucose is turned into sugar in your body, someone please correct me if I am wrong.
What are some foods for a diabetic?
When you are diagnosed with diabetes, it seems the whole world has crashed upon you. You can no longer eat the same foods as you did before. In most cases, that is wrong. If you love your sweets, there are many options in baking those sweet goodies without using sugar. As a diabetic, you do need to keep your blood sugar at the recommended level your doctor says to keep it at. Following a low glycemic-index is helpful. Eating high fiber carbohydrates is good for you. Diabetes-diabetic-diet.com has some helpful ideas.

Blood sugar level of 54 causes what to happen?
That's a good question. A lot of the answer is based on what you consider a drop in blood sugar is. If your blood sugar (glucose) gets lower than 70mg/dl then you are considered to have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). In a healthy individual, that's not on any diabetic medication, it should never happen. The liver can actually make its own glucose as needed by breaking down specific protein and fats (gluconeogenesis). Even with extended exercise and fasting my blood glucose has never been lower than 84. So if it falls below 70 there is probably some serious medical issue going on. Something could be wrong with your liver or pancreas. See a doctor for diagnosis. Also, if your blood sugar gets lower than 54 mg/dL, it's dangerous and you need emergency medical treatment right away. Go to the ER (emergency room). Some people think they have low blood sugar but they really don't But, here's the part of the equation that's puzzling. To really know what's going on you need to actually test your fasting blood glucose with a glucometer. Some people, especially those that are type 2 diabetic or pre-type 2 diabetic think they have low blood sugar in between meals or when they skip a meal. They are so accustomed to having a really high blood glucose level that's in the, say, 200 or 300 range, that when it falls for example to around 100 they actually get the symptoms of low blood sugar like the shakes, dizzy, sweaty and yes hangry. Have you heard of people getting “hangry” when they need a snack. This source explains it in great detail and I think it's quite interesting.
