Solution

The correct option is A Diabetes
In the case of diabetes, the body either does not produce enough insulin or the body fails to use the insulin efficiently. This results in excessive sugar levels in the blood. If you have diabetes, your pancreas either produces too little insulin or none at all. The insulin can't be used effectively. This allows blood glucose levels to rise while the rest of your cells are deprived of much-needed energy. This can lead to a wide variety of problems affecting nearly every major body system.
