Diabetes: Know your risk, Know your response
Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from diabetes, a fast growing dis functioned metabolic state of body.
The majority of the food you eat is converted by your body into sugar, or glucose, which is then released into your bloodstream. Your pancreas releases insulin in response to an increase in blood sugar. Insulin functions as a key to allow blood sugar to enter your body’s cells and be used as an energy source.
Diabetes is a long-term (chronic) illness that affects how your body uses food as fuel.
When your body metabolism get imbalance, your body either produces insufficient insulin or uses it improperly. Too much blood sugar remains in your circulation when there is insufficient insulin or when cells cease reacting to insulin. And this metabolic state of body is called as Diabetes.
According to WHO estimates, there will be 463 million cases of diabetes worldwide in 2020. By 2030, that number will increase to 10.2% (578 million), and by 2045, it will reach 700 million cases. Diabetes is directly responsible for 1.5 million fatalities worldwide each year. Over the past few decades, there has been a steady rise in both the number of cases and the incidence of diabetes.
