Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Diabetes occurs when glucose builds up in the blood due to the pancreas not producing enough insulin (or not using it correctly) resulting in low energy levels. Insulin is a hormone that your body’s cells need to absorb glucose. After food that you eat is digested, glucose passes into the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which the body becomes resistant to the normal effects of insulin and gradually loses the capacity to produce enough insulin in the pancreas.

Detailed explanation-3: -80% of this type of diabetes is caused by chronic pancreatitis, but other conditions can cause it, too, including pancreatic cancer, the genetic condition cystic fibrosis, and haemochromatosis, a genetic condition where iron accumulates over time and causes damage to various organs.
