Specific cells of the pancreas produce a hormone called insulin to correct metabolism. Without this hormone, glucose cannot enter body cells and blood glucose levels rise.

Plainly expressed, this process is the development of diabetes mellitus. “Numbers have increased in recent years because so many Americans are overweight.
