When I was small, I used to wonder why some ppl avoid sugar in their intakes(coffee, tea etc etc). If I ask anybody they used to say HE/SHE HAS DIABETES. So is it true that DIABETES is caused by sugar we take? No, absolutely not. Here’s answer for the question.
Insulin is like a key that opens up the locks on your body's cells so that glucose (blood sugar) can get inside and be used for energy.
Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is the "fuel" that gives our bodies energy. Insulin's important job is to help glucose get into the body's cells.
The liver releases too much glucose, especially at night (when the liver normally releases some glucose), resulting in high blood sugar levels in the morning. Insulin injections help bring down the amount of glucose released by the liver during the night, bringing morning blood sugars levels back to normal.
Some ppl think it occurs as result of high intake of sugar. The diabetic patients are advised by doctor not to take sugar, coz it’ll increase the blood glucose level which leads to hyperglycemia.
Hyperglycemia is an increase in plasma glucose (blood sugar).
Diabetes mellitus(common form of diabetes) is a condition in which the pancreas no longer produces enough insulin or when cells stop responding to the insulin that is produced, so that glucose in the blood cannot be absorbed into the cells of the body.
The excessive glucose which is not absorbed by body cells turns into DIABETES MELLITUS. .
