DiabetesDiabetes(糖尿病) is a condition where the body is unable to automatically regulate blood glucose levels, resulting in too much glucose in the blood.糖尿病是一个条件,身体无法自动调节血糖水平,导致血液中过多的葡萄糖。
Glucose(葡萄糖) comes from foods that contain carbohydrate(碳水化合物),for example, breads and cereals(谷物,谷类) , milk and dairy foods, fruits and some vegetables. Glucose travels in the bIood stream to the muscles and other organs where it is used as fuel. Excess glucose is detoured(绕道) to the liver where it is stored for future use. Glucose is the body's preferred(首选的) source of energy and our bodies need it to work efficiently , just like a car need petrol to run.葡萄糖来自于含有碳水化合物的食物,例如,面包和谷类食品,牛奶和乳制品的食品,水果和一些蔬菜。

The blood glucose level is regulated with the help of insulin, a hormone(or chemical messenger) made in the pancreas(胰腺) . Insulin is the key that glucose needs to enter the body's cells so that it can be used as fuel. Diabetes develops when the pancreas stops producing insulin or when the body does not respond properly to insulin. There are two major types of diabetes: Type 1 , a disease in which the body does not produce any insulin, most often occurs in children and young adults. People with Type1 diabetes must take daily insulin injection to stay alive. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5 to 10 percent of diabetes. Type2,a metabolic disorder resulting from the body's inability to make enough or properly use of insulin. It is the most common form of the disease. Type2 diabetes accounts for 90 to 95 percent of diabetes. Type2 diabetes is nearing epidemic(流行的) proportions, due to an increased number of older people, and a greater prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyles. Insulin injections are necessary to treat Typel diabetes. Type2 diabetes can usually be controlled in the first instance by regular exercise and diet. Tablets(药片) and eventually(最终) insulin injections may be needed as the disease prognsses.血糖水平的调节胰岛素的帮助下,一种激素(或化学信使)胰腺。
