Information About The Disease

What is diabetes?

Diabetes is one of the most common life style diseases affecting a significant number of people. It is a complex disease
that is identified by consistently high blood sugar levels, which in turn affect all parts and organs of the body.

There are two kinds of diabetes

Type [ 1 ]

Diabetes in which the body is unable to produce a hormone called insulin in the body, which is necessary for utilisation of sugar by the body’s cells.

Type [ 2 ]

Diabetes in which there is partial deficiency of insulin and also insulin resistance, i.e., the body does not respond effectively to the effects of insulin.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common type, and more than 95% of all diabetics are type 2 patients.
Diabetes can also develop in women during pregnancy, which it is called gestational diabetes.

The Main Goals for Staying Safe with Diabetes Are

01

To keep the blood sugar as normal as possible without serious high or low blood sugar levels (glycaemic control)

To prevent tissue and organ damage caused by high levels of sugar in the blood stream
