What is #diabetes? Diabetes happens when your body doesn’t make or use insulin properly. Glucose builds up in the blood instead of reaching your cells — which can cause serious health issues over time. #Nutrition #HealthEducation

What is #bloodglucose? It’s the sugar in your blood = your body’s primary fuel. Where does it come from? Your body breaks down the carbs you eat into glucose What does insulin do? Insulin helps move glucose from your blood into your cells for energy. #DiabetesAwareness

Ever wonder what blood glucose really is? It’s your body’s preferred source of energy — and when it’s out of balance, it can affect your health in major ways. Let’s break down what it is and why it matters 👇 #Health #DiabetesAwareness
