Diabetics

Diabetes is a chronic condition causing higher than normal blood sugar levels. Diabetes occurs when your body cannot make a hormone made by special cells in the pancreas called islets. Insulin acts as the main substance to open your cells, to allow the sugar from the food you eat. Then, your body will use that glucose for energy.  Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are the most common disease; also there are other kinds, such as gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy. People with diabetes and other chronic diseases often use complementary and alternative medicines.
