What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disorder characterized by excess amount of blood glucose
or blood sugar. This occurs when there is decrease in the production of
the hormone insulin in the body. There are two types that attribute to
the diabetes: insulin deficiency and insulin resistance. In insulin
deficiency the pancreas does not produce enough insulin due to
malfunction of insulin producing cells. In insulin resistance the
pancreas produces plenty of insulin, but the body cannot use the insulin
properly thereby shooting up the blood sugar level. If untreated, high
glucose levels damage the blood vessels, posing great health problems in
the long run.
