Diabetes

Diabetes simply means high blood sugar level.

To Know More…

  • A sugar called glucose enters the bloodstream, which is a source of fuel for the body
  • An organ called the pancreas produces insulin.
  • Insulin transports this sugar (glucose) from the bloodstream into the muscles, fat, and other cells, where it can be used as fuel or stored as a source of energy for later.
  • When a person’s pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the insulin does not function properly (insulin resistance), the amount of this sugar (glucose) in their blood starts to increase. This condition is called diabetes.
