Introduction
Health is Wealth” this saying has no meaning in India. Diabetes, the mother of all malaise, is so dangerous that it attracts many other diseases and slows down their recovery speed, unless you take care of the diabetes, first. Presently, India is better known as the Diabetic capital of the world.
We Indians have become so lethargic that nobody wants to do any physical activity and everybody seems to be running after earning more money. Their lifestyle has taken a U-turn regarding the physical fitness of us humans. People lack the mental knowledge that doing physical activities during a person’s childhood and teens days can keep him/her fit for many years in the old age.
There Are 2 Types of Diabetes Prevalent these days.
Type 1 Diabetes
- Type 1 insulin is not produced by the pancreas to deal with the outside toxins.
