Answer:

This question is incomplete

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of options. However, there are some facts about diabetes that can guide to the right answer in the completed question.

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder/diseases that results in high blood sugar. This is as a result of the body not been able to produce enough insulin (this is referred to as type 1 diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes) or the produced insulin not been able to "pick up" sugar from the blood (this is referred to as type 2 diabetes or insulin independent diabetes).

NOTE: Insulin is a hormone (or protein) that transports sugar from the blood to the cells where they are stored or broken down to produce energy.
