What is Diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases that results in abnormal blood sugar levels. Glucose is an important source of energy for the cells that make up the muscles and tissues. It occurs when the body doesn't produce enough insulin or can't use insulin properly. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells for energy or storage, maintaining glucose homeostasis in the body. The main cause of diabetes varies by type. Diabetes affects how the body handles glucose.
In Type 1 diabetes, the body doesn't make insulin. In Type 2 diabetes, the body doesn't use insulin well. Both types can lead to high blood sugar levels, which can cause health problems. Factors influencing the occurrence:
Autoimmunity
Insulin resistance
Physical inactivity
Heredity
Age related decline in cell function
Stressful lifestyle
