Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin – a hormone that regulates blood sugar (glucose) – or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. This leads to an increased concentration of glucose in the blood, which, over time, can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, vision loss, kidney failure and lower-limb amputation.
