Diabetes and the pancreas are inextricably connected. The pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that helps the body use blood sugar, also known as glucose. Insulin lets glucose enter cells to produce energy, but when this doesn't happen, glucose pools in the blood, leading to high blood sugar. Symptoms of diabetes include neuropathy, renal disease, and high blood pressure. Patients who have battled the disease for longer than five years might be more prone to developing pancreatic cancer. Luckily, this can be prevented by getting proper nutrition as well as sufficient physical activity on a regular basis.
