About Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition that leads to high blood sugar, due to the inability of the pancreas to make enough insulin or effectively use the insulin. The body needs fuel for energy and gets it from the food we eat, while insulin assists the body to store and release glucose as and when required.

Diabetes is one of the lifestyle disorders that has overtaken the population of the entire globe. According to Diabetes UK, figures show that in the UK, 5 million people are living with diabetes, with an estimated 2.4 million people at risk of type 2 diabetes, based on blood sugar levels. This lifestyle disorder can slowly affect your quality of life, if not managed well.

Diabetes can be effectively managed by leading a disciplined lifestyle, staying active, getting adequate sleep and eating a balanced diet. Herbal teas are greatly valued as one of the best ways to control diabetes, as they help to improve insulin sensitivity.
