Glucose is the major source of fuel for our bodies. Diabetes is caused when the pancreas does not produce insulin or uses it inaccurately or both. When this malfunctioning of insulin occurs, it bans the entry of glucose in the cells which causes escalated glucose levels in the blood, causing a condition known as Diabetes.It is categorized under 3 types:

TYPE 1 DIABETES:

  • In this type the body stops the production of insulin. Only 10% of the population is affected by this type. Type 1 has an early onset usually in teenage years or early adulthood.
  • People suffering from this type have to inject insulin in themselves their entire life and follow a special meal plan.
