To tell you the truth, happiness and sweet dishes come together, it's like one is incomplete without another. These sweet dishes made people's tongues happier and health worse. Data says China has the highest number of diabetic patients in the world, and while talking about India, one in six people is a diabetic patient.
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that occurs when your blood glucose(blood sugar) is too high. A sugar level of more than 200 mg/dL reading is considered diabetic. Majority of eaten food broken down into glucose(sugar) and released into your bloodstream. When blood glucose goes up it sends a signal to your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts as an open shutter to let the blood sugar into cells for use as energy. Diabetes which often begins in childhood is called type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes. The autoimmune condition, where your body attacks your pancreas with antibodies, and the damaged pancreas unable to use the insulin. People with type 1 have a higher risk of stroke, heart disease, diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy. Type 2 diabetes also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes, is the most common type. The main reason behind it is, more people are overweight or obese. In this type, the body doesn't produce enough insulin, or it resists insulin. Prediabetes also called impaired glucose tolerance, is when your blood sugar level is higher than its average level but not high enough to be type 2 diabetes. Its treatment mainly consists of self-care and medications.
Doctor Alyson Myers, MD, said, "one of the biggest mistakes is that people think they can go by their symptoms. A lot of the time people can have higher low blood sugar and not know it". 44- 64 aged groups are the most diagnosed age group for diabetes. Also, high sugar with high blood pressure is the worst combination.

Sugar is the main source of energy in the body. They are much faster in breakdown into energy than their protein and fat counterparts. Whenever you feel a sudden lack of energy, eat chocolate or sugar cubes, it will help. The most reliable blood test to monitor the sugar level and situation of your insulin is glycosylated hemoglobin it HbA1c. It checks the sugar level attached to the hemoglobin molecules. As hemoglobin is recycled every 3 months, this test gives you an average level of sugar for the last 3 months. The active carbohydrates have more simple sugars which get absorbed in the blood quickly and increase blood sugar level, on the other hand, inactive carbohydrates have more fiber which is not absorbable. Hence, blood sugar doesn't increase that much. The genius Albert Einstein said once, "intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them".
