DIABETES
 * disease in which the body doesn't produce or absorb insulin to regulate the bodies glucose levels
 * the pancreas creates digestive enzymes but also it make insulin
 * when you eat the body gets sugar into the bloodstream so the pancreas releases insulin to take the glucose from the bloodstream to the cells to make energy
 * on the membrane of the cell there is a protein that will match the insulin, the receptor is the lock and the hormone is the key if the two match up then the protein channel will open up and let the hormone into the cell
 * type one is about 7% and it in children and they don't have insulin have to take insulin shots
 * type two is 90% is the people and mostly obese people have it and so they have to work out and eat well and the receptor ignor the insulin because their is way to much
 * if their is too much insulin in the blood starts to not make it anymore
 * symtoms - high levels of glucose in the blood and in the urine, frequent urination, dehydration
 * can cause heart disease and stroke
 * many people have metobolic syndrom
