Insulin is a hormone naturally produced by your pancreas. Insulin enables the body to use
the sugar in food as a source of energy. When the body does not produce enough insulin, or when
the insulin produced by the body is not effective enough, the condition is called diabetes mellitus.
This condition allows sugar levels in the blood to become very high. Diabetics must use man-made
insulin or insulin that comes from pigs (which is very similar to human insulin) to lower these high
blood sugar levels.
