Diabetes is a metabolic illness in which the body is just not able to break down (metabolize) the sugars from food. Humans do suffer from diabetes when their bodies are just not able to digest the food properly for energy. The life of a diabetic can be really tough and full of difficulties, if he/she doesn't go for the right choices of medicines and food. The pancreas produces the Insulin which helps lower the blood glucose. Your body doesn't properly use the insulin, if you are suffering from Type II diabetes. Diabetes can be caused by following reasons: - Inability of the body to properly use the insulin
- Insufficient production or absence of insulin As the body cannot break down sugars, the sugars build up in the bloodstream as a substitute and in the end stress heart, kidneys, eyes and circulatory system. Symptoms of diabetes include: - Blurred vision
- Excessive thirst
- Fatigue
- Appetite
- Increased urine output
- Slow healing wounds
- Skin problems
- Numbness or tingling in the toes or feet
- Yeast infections
- Weight loss
