   Diabetes is a serious disease. It is described as a disorder of metabolism. The result is too high blood sugar levels. Generally in people blood glucose levels are controlled by an enzyme called Insulin. Insulin is made naturally in the pancreas.

Diabetes is divided into two types. Type 1 diabetes is caused by a drop in production of insulin. Type 2 Diabetes is caused by the body’s resistances to its effects. The consequences of diabetes are hyperglycemia. Some symptoms of hyperglycemia are excessive peeing, extreme thirst, and rapid weight loss among others.
