Diabetes : Diabetes is affected by several things, but basically the level of insulin and blood sugar. It is raised when we eat too much, get sick, or don't have enough insulin in the blood. Often when taking insulin the sugar is lower but we sense the lower sugar and eat more because we as used to higher abnormal sugar levels, then gain weight, need more insulin, sense the lower sugar levels, eat more etc.
