Reading some of the discussion here has gotten me interested in this.

What is diabetes? What causes it? Who is more likely to develop it, and why? What can you do to reduce your chances of developing diabetes?

I'm coming to this from very little knowledge, so use small words. I gather it is a disorder related to insulin production or ability to use insulin. I also gather the disease is becoming more common, but I don't know why. Is is really all a plot by the evil HFCS industry?
