Diabetes and how it relates personally

Diabetes

An epidemic is defined as spreading rapidly and extensively by

infection among many individuals in an area. Although not contagious, it

seems diabetes has inevitably invaded the health and well-being of countless

individuals in our world today. Has diabetes become an epidemic to the

point where it affects 150 million people each year? It seems that we have

grown accustomed to assume that diabetes is a normality, when in reality,

people are helplessly losing their lives in the name of diabetes. My

specifically Type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus, simply called diabetes, exists as a disease caused by

the body’s inability to use normal amounts of insulin properly.
