December 27th, 2005 through January 3rd, 2006 DIABETES CLASS Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose levels are above normal. People with diabetes have problems converting food to energy. After a meal, food is broken down into a sugar called glucose, which is carried by the blood to cells throughout the body. Cells use the hormone insulin, made in the pancreas, to help them process blood glucose into energy. There are two main types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. If diabetes is left uncontrolled, a number of complications can occur and greatly affect how one lives. If you would like to learn more about diabetes, please call 1-800-928-4416, ext. 162 and ask for Angie to find out when the next diabetes class will be in your area.
