What is Diabetes & How it is caused?
Diabetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes, is a condition that impairs the body's ability to process blood glucose, otherwise known as blood sugar. All the cells in the human body need glucose for energy and Insulin hormone for its use. This hormone insulin moves sugar from the blood into your cells to be stored or used for energy. With diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it does make.
Diabetes is a systemic disease and in the long-term will cause many complications and also lead to other dangerous diseases, so the basic knowledge about Diabetes is essential. As Diabetes is on a rise, knowing the causes of Diabetes is important. A single cause is not responsible for Diabetes but multiple causes/factors act together and trigger the mechanisms responsible for Diabetes.
Is Diabetes really Dangerous?
Yes and No. If diabetes is under control and regular medication along with good exercise and proper diet is followed then the complications can be avoided and will not be lethal.
