Question

Diabetes

a) An illness caused by eating too much sugar, leading to a buildup of sugar in various parts of the body.
b) An illness in which the body cannot process sugar effectively because the pancreas has either stopped producing insulin or the insulin being produced is not working effectively.
c) An illness in which the pancreas produces too much sugar, which then builds up in the bloodstream as excess insulin.
d) An illness in which the kidneys stop functioning, leading to a build-up of sugar in the bloodstream.

Answer 1

Diabetes is a disease where the body cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood. It can be caused by a lack of insulin production or the body's cells not responding to insulin. High blood sugar levels can have damaging effects on the body, and symptoms include frequent urination and excessive thirst.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diabetes is a non-infectious disease in which the body is unable to control the amount of sugar in the blood. People with diabetes have high blood sugar, either because their bodies do not produce enough insulin, or because their cells do not respond to insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells take up sugar from the blood. Without enough insulin, the blood contains too much sugar. This can damage blood vessels and other cells throughout the body. The kidneys work hard to filter out and remove some of the extra sugar. This leads to frequent urination and excessive thirst.
