This occurs either because the body cannot produce enough  insulin, or the insulin being produced is not efficiently used by the  body. Glucose is used by the body to provide the energy which enables us  to perform all of our regular bodily functions. It is manufactured by  the liver and derived from the foods we eat, particularly: pasta, rice,  potatoes, bread, milk and fruit. The hormone insulin is produced by the  pancreas and enables the cells of the liver, muscle and fatty tissue to  extract the glucose from the blood and store it in the liver and  muscles. When the body does not produce enough insulin, or if the  insulin does not function the way its meant to, the glucose remains in  the blood instead of being absorbed by the cells. Your blood glucose  level then becomes elevated resulting in pre-diabetes or diabetes.<br>
