Overview
The body breaks down carbohydrates into sugar, which is the primary source of energy for the body and helps the organs perform their essential functions. Higher than normal blood sugar levels can cause severe health issues like kidney damage, heart damage, and damage to the nerves. The pancreas is responsible for producing insulin, a hormone that helps to manage the excess glucose. If the body is unable to produce or utilise the insulin properly, the blood sugar levels remain high, causing diabetes.
