Diabetes Mellitus is a situation where the body is unable to process glucose (a type of sugar).
The mainly common form of Diabetes is Type II Diabetes which occurs mainly in adults. You are at danger from this form of diabetes if you have a generic predisposition to it, if you are overweight or are aged more than 40. In Type II Diabetes, the pancreas still creates insulin, but not enough, – or the insulin does not role correctly. This form of Diabetes can be managed with the right diet and exercise, but also with diabetes pills and insulin.
