Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diabetes is a disease in which the body cannot properly use and store glucose (a form of sugar), which is the main source of energy for the body's cells. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates the amount of glucose in the blood. In diabetes, either the body doesn't produce enough insulin or it can't effectively use the insulin it does produce, leading to high blood sugar levels. Estrogen and testosterone are not directly related to diabetes, and while protein and carbohydrates are important in the diet of a person with diabetes, they are not the primary issue in the disease.
