Diabetes is trouble regulating blood glucose levels because of a lack of insulin or insulin resistance.
Glucose is the sugar that all of our cells rely upon for energy.
Insulin is a hormone that lowers blood glucose levels by making glucose diffuse into cells and causes glycogen to form.
Glucagon is a hormone that raises blood sugar by breaking down glycogen.
Glycogen is used to store sugar in your liver.
