It is the absence/low amount of hormone insulin produced in beta pancreatic cells that affect diabetes, if that was the question you asked.

Explanation:

Basically, insulin hormone produced in beta pancreatic cells would be released into the blood. It would then binds with insulin receptors on cell surface, triggering glucose channels to open, allowing glucose to enter the cells.

When a person has a low amount/Or no insulin, this prevents insulin from entering the cells, as the glucose channels are closed (Due to no insulin binding to insulin receptors). This lead to increased amount of glucose in the blood (Glucose stays in blood), resulting in high blood sugar levels, known as diabetes.
