This is a research paper with a questionnaire on Diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by the body's inability to produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into the energy needed for daily life. When left untreated, diabetes can lead to heart disease, blindness, amputation, kidney disease, dental disease, nerve damage, sexual dysfunction, and pregnancy complications. The World Health Organization estimates there are 125 million people worldwide with diabetes.
