    Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that causes high blood sugar and occurs most often in people over 35 or 45 years old, but can sometimes affect children as young as 5 years old. It is caused by either the body not producing enough insulin or not being able to effectively use the insulin produced, resulting in high blood sugar that can damage nerves, eyes, kidneys and other organs if left untreated, though education and management can help protect health. Diabetes risk is increased by lifestyle factors like inactivity and obesity as well as genetic factors.
