Our body needs glucose for energy, and most of it comes from the food we eat. Once food is digested, glucose enters the bloodstream. At this point, insulin helps the glucose move into the cells, where it can be used for energy. Insulin is produced by the pancreas and is an important hormone for blood sugar control. In<\/span> diabetes mellitus<\/b><\/a>,<\/b> either the body does not make enough insulin or it cannot use the insulin effectively. Because of this problem, glucose starts building up in the bloodstream, and the level of blood sugar increases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people come to know about diabetes only after a blood sugar test shows levels higher than normal. However, the condition can affect different parts of the body if it remains uncontrolled for a long time. It may affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels. The good thing is that proper attention to food, daily routine, physical activity and regular health checks can make a meaningful difference. Ayurveda also gives importance to food, digestion, activity and daily habits, which can be considered as part of a wider wellness approach.<\/span><\/p>\n
