Diabetes is of two types; one is type 1 Diabetes and second one is type 2 Diabetes. In type 1 Diabetes, not insulin is formed due to destruction of pancreatic beta cells. And there is need of insulin from external sources. But in type 2 diabetes, insulin is produced by our body but not enough or our body make resistance against it and don’t use it to control blood sugar levels. So, sugar remains in blood not using for providing energy to cells.
When sugar is not utilizing as energy, then our body feel weakness due to lack of energy. If we are not managing sugar level by taking medicine or by lowering sugar intake then this will cause serious health hazards like neuropathy, improper digestion, high blood pressure, obesity, stroke, low endurance level, poor eyesight, poor kidney functions and cardiovascular diseases. Stress level also go up and you feel depressed.
