Diabetes is a dreadful disease: you don’t want to ignore it nor dishearten by it, because we can actually battle it by changing what we ate and our lifestyle. 

According to Wikipedia, Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.  This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of frequent urination, increased thirst and increased hunger. Diabetes is treatable since insulin is available as medications, however symptoms and other complication may arise when not treated early and properly.
