Diabetes occurs when your ____ doesn’t work correctly.
A
thyroid
B
pancreas
C
pituitary
D
adrenals
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If your pancreas isn’t making enough insulin or your body isn’t using it properly, glucose builds up in your bloodstream, causing high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Over time, having consistently high blood glucose can cause health problems, such as heart disease, nerve damage and eye issues.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chronic inflammation of the pancreas can damage the cells that produce insulin. This can lead to diabetes . Pancreatitis and type 2 diabetes share some of the same risk factors. Observational studies indicate that people with type 2 diabetes may have a two-to threefold increased risk of acute pancreatitis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both acute and chronic pancreatitis can cause your pancreas to produce fewer of the enzymes that are needed to break down and process nutrients from the food you eat. This can lead to malnutrition, diarrhea and weight loss, even though you may be eating the same foods or the same amount of food.
