DIAB ETES : A KILLER DISEASE

Diabetes happens when the body cannot absorb sugar (glucose) into its cells and use it for energy. It means the saturation point is reached. Any further sugar or extra sugar goes into the bloodstream. This results into diabetes. Poorly controlled diabetes can lead to serious consequences causing damage to a wide range of body organs and tissues – including the heart kidneys eyes and nerves. The process of digestion includes breaking down the food into various different nutrient sources. Eating bread pasta rice i.e. the carbohydrates break down into sugar i.e. glucose.  And when glucose is in the bloodstream it needs insulin to neutralize the ill effects of excess sugar for turning into energy. Insulin is a hormone made by pancreas an organ located behind the stomach. Pancreas releases insulin into bloodstream.  Glucose provides the energy to tissues and organs for proper functioning.  Emergence of diabetes indicates that sufficient insulin is not produced by the pancreas and the excess sugar stays in bloodstream and blood glucose level rises.
