Diabetes also is known as diabetes mellitus is a condition in which patient has high blood sugar in the body. This could be either because of inadequate production of insulin or body cells are not responding to insulin properly.

It is a degenerative metabolic disorder directly impacting the way our body uses food for growth and energy.

Basically, whatever we eat, our body breaks it down by digestive juices into simpler sugar also called as glucose. For a body, glucose is main source of fuel and once the food is digested, the glucose will pass through our bloodstream to be available for cells to use it for energy and growth.

In order for the cells to absorb the glucose from the blood, a hormone called as insulin must be present in sufficient quantity. After eating food, our pancreas produces insulin to successfully transfer the glucose from the blood to the cells. However, in diabetic patients either the production of insulin would be inadequate or body cells will refuse to absorb the glucose from the blood. The result is the glucose keep on building up and releases through urination. It thus flushes out our main source of fuel for the body.
