What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a condition characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood. Usually, food is digested and sugar molecules or glucose, is released into the blood and then carried to tissues where it is absorbed from the blood and used as a form of energy. In diabetes, this process is interrupted at the point where sugar gets absorbed into cells. Because this doesn’t happen, glucose levels in the blood climb above normal levels and many complications arise.

Diabetes is believed to be the largest silent disease that can have serious repercussions if left untreated.
