How can you keep yourself away from diabetes?

If you are failing again and again to control your blood sugar level, there is only one reason behind it the poor awareness about the body need for glucose and how to control the fluctuating sugar level.  In the body, pancreas hormones are responsible for controlling the glucose level in the body.

“According to American Diabetes Association, a normal person’s blood sugar level should be less than 100 mg/dl before a meal and less than 140 mg/dl 1 to 2 hours after the meal.”

The main function of the pancreas is to exclude insulin hormones before and after the meal.  They also give signals if the body requires glucose and when the need for glucose is at a normal level.  When these pancreases don’t work properly and stop hiding the insulin or hides excess insulin than the requirement of the body, then it harms the blood vessels and nerves. It could be a cause of Heart attack, diabetes, stroke or high blood pressure.
