The role of insulin in the body is when you eat your body begins to convert food into sugar (glucose) & the pancreas is supposed to release insulin. The insulin opens up cells to allow glucose to enter so it can be used for energy, but with diabetes this does not happen. Type 1 diabetes is relatively uncommon, affecting about 1.25 million Americans (out of the total 30 million with diabetes). It usually occurs in people before the age of 20.
