This animated video answers the question "what is diabetes". For energy your body needs sugar. Insulin, which is produced in your pancreas, is the chemical that allows blood sugar to enter your bodies cells. In diabetics, the sugar is unable to get into the cells of the body and builds up in the blood. The two types of diabetes are type 1- who do not make insulin, and type 2- who are resistant to insulin. Video courtesy of eMedTV.com
