Diabetes mellitus is commonly known as diabetes, refers to a condition where the sugar content in our blood stream is alarmingly high. Excess presence of glucose in our body is not at all a healthy sign for us since it can lead to many other metabolic disorders. Presence of high visceral fat in your body is an indicator that you could be in a pre-diabetic state.

Diabetes is classified into type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone needed to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy. Type 2 diabetes is non-insulin dependent diabetes and a chronic condition that impacts the way our body metabolizes sugar (glucose), an important source of fuel for our body. Under this condition, our body either resists the effects of insulin, or does not produce enough insulin to maintain a normal glucose level.

Diabetes is a health condition that can be managed through minor changes in lifestyle and proper nutrition to bring about years of vibrant health. Make no mistake! The primary cause of the health issue is improper nutrition and lack of exercise coupled with increasing environmental pollution. All this triggers a host of free radical activity within the body, which slowly disintegrates our immune system. Once your immunity begins to fail, your body becomes an open battle ground welcoming any health issue.
