The pancreas has a main job which is to automatically produce the right amount of insulin needed to move the glucose obtained from the food into the cells of the body. After digestion of food glucose is known to pass into the blood stream. Blood cells use and stores glucose for energy, making Glucose the main fuel for the body. Individuals who suffer from diabetes produce little to no insulin at all, their cells are known to not properly respond to the appropriate amount of insulin needed to process food. For individuals which diabetes Glucose often builds up in the blood and it can even overflow into the urine making the body lose its main source of fuel and there for little to no energy is left. There are three main types of diabetes that are found individuals. The three types of diabetes are Type 1, Type 2 and Gestational Diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common known...
