According to the report, 6.8 percent of the people living in the city and 5.7 percent of the people living in the rural are in the grip of diabetes. Due to this disease, there is a high chance of disability, and kidney failure.
Your body breaks down most of the food you eat into sugar (glucose) and releases it into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar rises, it signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin works to take blood sugar to the cells of the body, which gives energy.
In diabetes, your body does not make enough insulin, which causes cells to stop responding to insulin and too much sugar in your blood. Over time, this can cause serious health problems such as heart disease, weak eyesight, and kidney disease.
The three main types of diabetes are type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes (diabetes while pregnant).
