Diabetes is a chronic malignant disease. Most of the food we eat throughout the day is digested and absorbed into the bloodstream as glucose. Body cells receive this glucose to produce energy and heat in our body, and to do this the body cells have to rely on a type of hormone called insulin which is secreted from the pancreas. In diabetes, the secretion of insulin from the pancreas is disrupted or reduced, or it becomes ineffective, leading to a deficiency of glucose in the cells and an increase in blood glucose. This condition is called diabetes. A person is diagnosed with diabetes only if his or her blood glucose exceeds a certain level. Normal blood glucose levels are 7.1 mmol / L when fasting. And 7.8 mol / l 2 hours after glucose intake. Must be below this.
