Insulin is the hormone that helps your body use the
                                               energy from sugar, starches and other foods.
                                               Glucose is a form of sugar produced when the body
                                               digests carbohydrates (sugars and starches).
                                               Glucose is the body's major fuel for the energy it
                                               needs. When insulin is absent or ineffective, the
                                               blood glucose (blood sugar) level increased. High
                                               blood glucose levels can lead to both short and
                                               long term problems.
