Diabetes begins when the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakenly attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. In type 2 diabetes, the body's cells become resistant to insulin, often influenced by factors like obesity, inactivity, and genetic predisposition.
