Good for diabetes

Diabetes has became a widespread disease in current times. It is a combination of several metabolic disorders that lead to diabetes. This condition develops when the pancreas fails to produce sufficient insulin. The food we consume is converted into sugar that enters the bloodstream. When blood sugar level rises above a certain limit, the pancreas is stimulated to secrete insulin. Even though diabetes cannot be cured completely, it can be managed with a proper diet, lifestyle and timely medication.
