Diabetes is a disease in which our pancreas stops working.
It does not produce a hormone which is called insulin.
This hormone is responsible for utilizing blood sugar, so when this hormone is not produced then the sugar level in our blood rises.
This condition is called diabetes.
You can check your sugar at two times.
One is fasting sugar which should be normally 80-120 mg of 100 ml blood.
Secondly you can check after two hours of meal.
It should be normally 160 ml out of 100 ml blood.
In order to have our sugar level under control we need to have a certain amount of insulin in our blood.
When our pancreas stops making it then there are two ways of making up the efficiency.
Either we can take external insulin or we can control our diet and prevent our sugar from rising.
The question comes why is it so necessary to keep your sugar level stable? Well there are many side effects of increased or decreased sugar level.
It can make you heart patient, can cause you blindness, and also it can affect your foot and leg muscles.
The things that you can do to control your sugar level include, taking a proper well balanced diet, which should be rich in protein and fiber and low on the carbohydrate sides.
Your doctor can help you a lot in making a proper diet chart for you according to your sugar swings and also as they know better the nutrition values of things so he will guide you better.
In order to see whether your precautions are making an impact on your blood sugar level you need to check your blood sugar regularly.
