Which term describes a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin?

• A. Diabetes
• B. Dialogue
• C. Descalation
• D. Disengagement

Answer: (A)

The term describes a disease where the body either does not produce insulin or cannot use it effectively. Insulin is the hormone from the pancreas that helps glucose enter cells to be used for energy. When insulin is missing or its action is impaired, glucose stays in the bloodstream rather than getting into cells, leading to high blood sugar and the various health problems this condition can cause. That specific health term is diabetes.

The other options don’t fit because they refer to things unrelated to a medical disease: dialogue is a conversation between people, descalation (de-escalation) is reducing the intensity of a conflict, and disengagement means withdrawal or detachment.
