There are millions of diabetes sufferers in the world. The individuals suffering from diabetes has been steadily increasing over the past few years. There are two types of diabetes, the first is genetic in nature, called Type I diabetes and the second one is called Type II or onset diabetes. In the first kind of diabetes, also called juvenile diabetes, the body attacks the cells in the pancreas that produces insulin. Insulin is the hormone required to process and regulate the amount of glucose in the body. The absence of this hormone makes the cell starve since the proper fuel for cell function, which is glucose, cannot be absorbed and used. The second type of diabetes is a result of obesity, poor diet and lack of exercise. This causes the pancreas to improperly function making the insulin levels in the body abnormally low resulting in problems as to glucose use in the body.
