Diabetes

Do you feel an increased thirst and an urge for urination, fatigue and ,blurred vision , sores that do not heal – You might be suffering from Diabetes.

Diabetes is a disease in which our blood glucose, or blood sugar levels are too high. Two common terms associated with Diabetes are Glucose and Insulin.

Our body gets Glucose from the foods we eat while Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas (an organ in our body) that helps the glucose get into our cells.

Insulin helps to lower the blood glucose. Without enough insulin, the glucose does not get absorbed by the cells and keeps circulating in the blood which causes problems. Early detection is the key.
