Larger women were envied, presumed healthier and more affluent, and considered to be so much better caregivers.

  What is Diabetes  Diabetes-also called Diabetes mellitus-is a chronic health condition developed when your pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin or any at all, or when your body isn’t responding to the effects of insulin properly. When you eat carbohydrates, the body breaks them down into glucose, a type of sugar that serves as energy for your cells.
