What really is this trouble maker called Diabetes?

This is a gathering of some valuable information about Diabetes. 

With diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use it as well as it should be. Unlike other diseases Diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that could cause major effects on how your body turns food into energy.

Your body operates in such a way that it chunks down mostly all what you eat into sugar (glucose) and lets it blend with your bloodstream. The operation continues when the sugar levels in your blood hikes, it alarms your pancreas and asks it to release insulin. Insulin does a vital task here just like a password to your email login, letting the blood sugar into the cells of your body for use as energy.

When someone has diabetes, then the result is the body doesn’t manufacture enough insulin or as we saw above, the body can’t use it as well as it should. The body really needs insulin. But, sooner the body finds out that ‘heavens I don't have enough insulin’ or in another way to put it through the cells reluctant in responding to insulin, excessive amounts of blood sugar retains in your bloodstream. When the time goes by, that could cause fatal concerns to your health, weakening or eliminating vital functions of your body such as; heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.

Unfortunately, the medical advancements have failed to invent a cure yet for diabetes, but there is a silver line in the dark cloud; if you manage to lose weight, eat healthy food, and being active can really help & take the risk away
