listening report In this report, Todd and Mike talk about diabetes. Mike says that he is diabetic, for this reason, he wants to explain what diabetes is. So he says that everyone has an organ which is called pancreas. The pancreas produces an hormone which is called insulin. Consequently, the insulin converts the sugar of our body into energy. We can find sugar in all food we eat and in all drinks we drink. Sugar come into our body, it is digested and it changes into plain sugar. Then, the insulin changes that sugar into energy. Although, for diabetics, their pancreas stops making insulin. Therefore, their bodies just collect all this sugar and it cannot free of it, but it has no energy, like no fat. Diabetics usually start to lose weight and go to the bathroom all the time. This happens because of the excess of sugar. Mike tell us that he had it for over 25 years and contracted it when he was twelve years old. He thinks that he got it because of genetic, but he is not sure about it. Todd answers him that if his family had it, there is a chance he can have it himself. Mike says that his life has changed since then. Now he should be much more careful with his diabetes. The most important things are to make sure we always check our blood sugar and to make sure that its level is under control.
