In the body there is an organ called the pancreas responsible for producing the hormone insulin. The task itself is the hormone insulin to deliver food (sugar) that we eat to be able to enter into the cell so that it can be converted into energy that will be used by our bodies to be active and working. When the hormone insulin is illustrated key that brings the sugar, then the surface cells, insulin will stick to the insulin receptors that act as the entrance for the sugar. Insulin will give stimuli will cause insulin receptors and sugar substances can get into the cells. When the amount of insulin that was delivering sugar little or even nothing, then the sugar will remain in the blood. This results in high blood sugar in examination results, known as diabetes.
Diabetes is a disease that is caused due to metabolic disorder in which the body cannot produce insulin or less successful. The situation will last a lifetime. So to be able to deliver sugar into the cells, the body's insulin needs help from outside of the body namely artificial insulin. But not all sufferers of diabetes requiring insulin because of some artificial activity and medication – certain drugs can also stimulate insulin production or increase the sensitivity of insulin receptors in the body.
Based on type, diabetes is classified into several types, among them:
1. type 1 diabetes
Occurs because the pancreas in the body is totally unable to produce insulin. As a result of sufferers of diabetes type 1 insulin requires absolute artificial all his life. In General, this type of diabetes suffered by children and is very difficult to detect.
2. type 2 diabetes
