Diabetes is a serious disease that makes your blood sugar too high. This could be because your body doesn’t make enough insulin (the hormone that turns food into energy) or because the insulin it makes is not used correctly. High blood sugar over time causes problems in many parts of the body. Type 2 diabetes is one of four chronic diseases that are the cause of more than 50% of deaths each year in Vermont.
