insulin produced by the body is not effective enough, the condition is called diabetes mellitus. This
condition allows sugar levels in the blood to become very high. Diabetics must use man-made insulin or
insulin that comes from pigs (which is very similar to human insulin) to lower these high blood sugar
levels.
