Diabetes describes a group of metabolic
diseases in which the person has high blood glucose, either
because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not
respond properly to insulin, or both. Patients with high blood sugar will
typically experience polyuria, they will become increasingly thirsty
(polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia)
Diabetes has been
called a modern-day pandemic by some, and more than three-fifty million people
around the world are affected by it. Diabetes comes in two primary forms, Type
I and Type II, as well as gestational diabetes. These two forms of diabetes
refer to the deficiency that your body has related to insulin production and
glucose balance. When we consume carbohydrates that break down into simple
sugars, our blood sugar rises. Insulin is responsible for transporting this
glucose to the body’s cells, where it can be used for energy production. In the case of diabetics, either the body is unable to make enough insulin or
is unable to use the insulin that it produces.
