Lucknow: Attention everyone specially patients of this slow poisonous deadly disease Diabetes as we all know that may lead us towards death. So here we tell you about what the hell is this disease is and what are its symptoms?  

What is Diabetes ?

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high.

Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy.

Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough-or any-insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells.

Sometime, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems. Although diabetes has no cure, you can take steps to manage your diabetes and stay healthy.

Sometimes people call diabetes “a touch of sugar” or “borderline diabetes.” These terms suggest that someone doesn’t really have diabetes or has a less serious case, but every case of diabetes is serious.

Diabetes is  often referred as diabetes mellitus. Patients with high blood sugar will typically experience polyuria (frequent urination), they will become increasingly thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia).
