Well, I don’t really know a lot about diabetes. What I know is that diabetes is associated with high blood glucose and insulin, and it’s both native and acquired decease. Insulin helps the glucose from food get into our cells, and that makes the blood glucose stays at a level it should. When diabetes strikes people, people may feel very thirsty, hungry, tired, and having blurry eyesight. In addition, diabetes is growing at an alarming rate that impact economics, societies, and lives of people, and diabetes is also increasing in children.
