What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is caused by to much glucose (sugar that absorbed by people after eating) present in the blood. Diabetes occurs because the body can't use glucose properly, either because the lack of the hormone –insulin (produce by the pancreas), or the insulin available but doesn't work effectively.

When very high levels of blood glucose are present for years, it may lead to damage of the small blood vessels. It resulted to blind, foot ulceration (amputation), damage to kidney (nephropathy), heart attack and etc.
