Diabetes is a condition which impacts the overall body of humans. It is also known as diabetes mellitus by doctors and is characterized by a symptom in which the blood sugar level of the body becomes very high. Patients with high blood sugar level develop polyuria which causes them to frequently urinate or polydipsia and polyphagia which makes them excessively hungry and thirsty respectively. The body’s ability to produce or use insulin is heavily impacted. Insulin is a hormone present in the body which is released to transport the energy that is produced by processing the food humans eat. Insulin transports the energy produced by the cells and signals the cell to open and receive sugar. If little or no insulin is present in the body, then a significant amount of sugar gets remained in the blood which can be dangerous.

There are primarily two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Under type 1, the pancreas does not produce insulin and it usually occurs in humans during childhood or adolescence, though it can occur in adults, the possibility is less. Under type 2 diabetes, the body is not able to produce sufficient insulin or use it properly. It occurs generally after the age of 45. Various factors can contribute to the growth of type 2 diabetes such as genetic conditions, extra weight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and bad communication between cells. Moreover, there is gestational diabetes which affects women during pregnancy.
