What is Diabetes?

Diabetes will cause the abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates and it will elevate the levels of glucose in the blood because of the body’s ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin. 

There are two types of diabetes:

Type 1 diabetes (Juvenile diabetes): In this condition, the pancreas will produce very little or no sugar. Mostly it will appear in adolescence.

Type 2 diabetes (Adult-onset diabetes): In this condition, it will affect the way the body processes blood sugar.

Other than these 2 conditions there are other conditions like prediabetes and gestational diabetes. You will overcome these conditions with a proper healthy and balanced diet, exercise, regular monitoring, medication, and insulin therapy.
