Normally after a person eats or drinks, the body will break down sugars from the food and use them for energy in the cells.
To accomplish this, the pancreas need to produce a hormone called insulin.
Insulin is what facilitates the process of pulling sugar from the blood and putting it in the cells for use, or energy.

This can lead to a wide variety of problems affecting nearly every major body system, including the eyes.
