Diabetes is a disease in which glucose or sugar levels in our blood remain high.

Do you know what causes diabetes?

Most of our food is converted into glucose and released into the bloodstream. Then, our pancreas makes insulin. Insulin helps glucose get into the cells. However, in some people, the insulin production is inadequate or it is not used well. Hence, glucose stays and builds up in the blood, increasing the blood glucose level and thus, causing diabetes.

There are three main types of diabetes. Diabetes type 1 occurs when our immune cells destroy the cells in pancreas which make insulin, resulting in less or no insulin production. Diabetes type 2 occurs when pancreas cannot produce enough insulin or our bodies cannot use it well. Gestational diabetes occurs in pregnant women.

Diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, etc. Hence, diabetic people should always maintain their blood glucose levels.
