What is Diabetes ?
Diabetes Mellitus means 'honey sweet'. Diabetes occurs due to the inability of the body to convert
food into energy. It is a condition where we have high blood sugar (glucose) levels in our body.
It is a chronic disease, which can be managed well through proper guidence.
The Insulin Factor
Normally our body converts the food we eat into sugar or glucose, which is used for the production
of energy. This is done by the pancreas, an organ lying near the stomach.The pancreas makes a
hormone called insulin, which attaches itself to the receptor on the cell wall,thereby allowing glucose.
