Sugar is processed by a hormone called insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When there isn&#8217;t enough insulin or none at all, then the glucose (sugar) that comes from the food that you eat doesn&#8217;t get to your cells. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This is a problem because blood glucose is what fuels the cells of the body, so if it isn&#8217;t getting appropriately processed, the cells aren&#8217;t getting the fuel that they need. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Too much glucose in the blood can also lead to health problems like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Heart disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Kidney damage<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Hearing impairment<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Eye problems<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Nerve damage<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Foot damage<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/c1mdevsite.com\/evexipel.com\/hormone-replacement-therapy-dry-itchy-skin\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Skin conditions<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Alzheimer&#8217;s disease<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u00a0Some Serious Stats<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you have diabetes, you are not alone.
