Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the body is unable to metabolize the sugars and starch efficiently. As a result, sugar starts to build up in the blood and reaches high levels of concentration. High blood sugar has detrimental effects on the body. Diabetes is classified into two categories i.e. Diabetes Type 1 and Diabetes Type 2
Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the immune system attacks the pancreas, rendering it unable to produce insulin. On the other hand, Diabetes Type 2 occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin to metabolize the sugars consumed. Regardless of the type, it is very important to bring diabetes under control. Or else, it can cause serious medical conditions such as kidney failure, heart disease, blindness and amputation of lower extremities
Diabetes can be controlled through medication, strict diet, and regular exercise. However, due to rising medical costs, diabetes management can be expensive as it entails expensive medication, frequent doctor visits, and sugar monitoring tests.
