Diabetes commonly occurs due to a lack of hormone called insulin in the body that is produced by pancreas. Treating it is necessary but total cure is far sighted. There are two types of diabetes, one when the hormone insulin is produced insufficiently by which glucose level cannot be balanced. The other when insulin is not produced at all and these patients depend on insulin injection to maintain the glucose levels. Some of the sure symptoms of diabetes include enhanced thirst and hunger, sudden loss in weight, fatigue, excessive urination and bruises that takes long to heal.
Diabetes can lead to many ailments, including cardiovascular diseases, retinopathy, and amputation of effected leg or any part of the body, kidney disease or may even lead to blindness. Apart from regular treatments and medications, one can also treat the problem with the help of home remedies.
