Diabetes Etiology

---

Diabetes is a chronic illness that develops when the pancreas does not create enough insulin, the blood glucose regulating hormone or the body cannot utilize the insulin produced. Uncontrolled diabetes frequently causes hyperglycemia, also known as high blood glucose or raised blood sugar, that can, over time, severely impact multiple physiological systems, including the nervous and circulatory systems. Other etiologies comprise a combination of genetics and lifestyle factors that might induce or exacerbate the condition.
