"Diabetes can affect women during their childbearing years.
Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose (blood sugar) levels are
above normal. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar,
for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near
the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the
cells of our bodies. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn't
make enough insulin or can't use its own insulin as well as it should."
