Diabetes

The word Diabetes has been derived from two words, Diabetes (Greek) which means “Siphon Through” and Mellitus (Latin) which means “Sweetened with Honey”. This Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body is unable to produce or process insulin, the food we consume is converted into Glucose, insulin aids the cells in the absorption of this glucose. It leads to various other complications like weight gain, cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, etc.

Diabetes Mellitus is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism of the impaired ability in producing or responding to insulin. And it maintains proper levels of sugar in the blood. Prediabetes occurs when your blood sugar level increases than the normal level but is not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Gestational Diabetes occurs during pregnancy but may resolve after the baby is delivered.
