Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder in which the body is unable to make proper use of glucose, resulting in high blood sugar. Excess glucose in the blood ultimately results in high levels of glucose being present in the urine. This increases the urine output, which leads to dehydration and increased thirst.


It is caused by excessive intake of foods that are difficult to digest, lack of exercise, mental stress, excessive intake of sugar, excessive sleep, overloading of proteins and fats etc.
