Glucose is the main energy-generating source for our body. All the fruit, milk, potatoes, bread, pizzas, salads, ice cream, and even the soups that you have, contain glucose in the form of carbohydrates and fat. The metabolism of the body breaks down these complex compounds into glucose to provide energy for the body.
The body needs insulin to infuse glucose into the bloodstream. Insulin is a hormone that is produced in the pancreas. It transports the glucose to the cells, especially the muscle cells.
Diabetes is a condition in which the glucose levels in the blood go abnormally high and affect the production and function of insulin in the body since they are very much interconnected. People with Type 1 Diabetes have an issue in producing insulin, as a result of which they have to take it as an injection under the skin.
People with Type 2 Diabetes might have enough insulin but the functionality of it is very minimal and not up to the mark. This condition is also termed insulin resistance. In some cases, they don’t even produce enough insulin required by the body.
Diabetes is a condition that drives the state of Hyperglycemia. This condition arises when the d glucose level is not maintained and is not under control. That means, the medications, usage of insulin, and proper meal planning are not done well and this results in Hyperglycemia.
