Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows cells to absorb glucose and convert it into energy. When the body is unable to produce insulin or is unable to use its power, glucose accumulates in the blood, causing hyperglycemia. The state in which the body is unable to use or produce insulin is known as diabetes. Diabetes, scientifically known as diabetes mellitus is a disease that has a mortality rate higher.
