 * When you have diabetes, insulin shots will be needed regularly. Insulin is a hormone released from the pancreas in our bodies. Insulin is needed for glucose, a kind of sugar from foods that your body uses as energy, without insulin, glucose isn't able to enter your cells, and the body can't get the energy it needs from it.
 * Even if you have plenty of glucose in your bloodstream, without sufficient insulin, none of it will be able to be used and converted in to energy for your body, not being able to enter the body or brain cells. It's like how even though a car is full of gas in the tank, if the key isn't turned in the ignition, all that gas is useless.
 * People with diabetes inject insulin into their bloodstream to control their blood sugar(glucose). They have to take shots to get it into their body because if they take it by eating, digestion would destroy it. Researchers are now trying to find better ways to get insulin into the bloodstream without having to take shots every time insulin is needed.
 * There three main types of diabetes.
 * Type 1 Diabetes (which was previously been known as juvenile diabetes) is when the body produces little or no insulin, not enough needed. Type 1 Diabetes is usually found with children or young adults.

 * In Type 2 Diabetes, sufficient insulin is produced, but the body’s cells are unable to use it. ||

 * I didn't know that there were different types of diabetes, i just thought there was diabetes, not type 1 or 2.
 * I found it interesting now knowing what the shots people with diabetes took actually did for their bodies. ||

= RESEARCH = = QUESTION: = || What are the causes of diabetes? || (words, index terms, keywords that helped you find your info) || = Causes Diabetes Insulin = || Diabetes Mellitus (now, just known as Diabetes) occurs when the pancreas doesn't make enough or any of the hormone insulin, or when the insulin produced doesn't work effectively. In diabetes, this causes the level of glucose in the blood to be too high. In **Type 1 diabetes** the cells in the pancreas that make insulin are destroyed, causing a severe lack of insulin. This is thought to be the result of the body attacking and destroying its own cells in the pancreas - known as an autoimmune reaction. In **Type 2 diabetes** the pancreas does produce insulin, and enough insulin necessary, but the insulin is unable to enter the bodies' cells, this is called insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes is more common to people who are overweight and or obese. || For the second type of diabetes, I can't help thinking about how unlucky people are when the insulin they have can't be used, making it useless, just like how there isn't enough insulin for people with diabetes type 1. ||

 * Images/video to support this || I didn't know that this is the cause of diabetes. It was quite surprising that it occurs when the pancreas doesn't make enough hormone insulin. Although I already knew that, I still think that a small error like this can cause such a big problem.
