DIABETES!

One in five Indians is a diabetic, according to the World Health Organisation. When our body is unable to control the amount of sugar in the blood, there is a rise in sugar level. Diabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin (the hormone needed to utilise glucose in the body). Fasting sugar and post prandial (two hours after a meal) blood sugar levels will determine the presence of diabetes. If fasting sugar level is less than 110mg/dl and post-prandial less than 130 mg/dl, you are diabetes free.
