Diabetes is a disease in which the level of glucose in your blood is too high. Glucose is derived from food and is the body’s primary source of fuel. Diabetes causes the body to be unable to correctly utilise glucose, resulting in excessive glucose levels in the blood. This is because the Pancreas does not create enough insulin to help glucose reach the cells of your body. In other words, insulin resistance occurs when the insulin generated does not function effectively. Diabetes is classified into three types: type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
