Solution

Diabetes
Diabetes is a metabolic disease or a condition in which the glucose levels in the blood will be high over a prolonged period of time.
In other words, it can be defined as a condition that occurs when the body cannot efficiently make use of glucose that serves as a source of energy for body cells.
Blood sugar levels are controlled by a hormone called insulin.
Diabetes is either caused due to the insufficient production of insulin by the pancreas or it may occur if the cells of the body are not effectively responding to the insulin produced.
