Answer to Question 1

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. It regulates how the body uses and stores glucose and fat. Many of the body's cells rely on insulin to take glucose from the blood for energy.

Answer to Question 2

Diabetes can take a toll on nearly every organ in the body, including the heart and blood vessels, the eyes, the kidneys, the nerves and the gums and teeth. (Find out more at the American Diabetes Association: http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/complications/.)
