Pancreas can produce a hormone called insulin which helps to level the glucose amount that we intake. Insulin has two functions: reduce the blood sugar levels and regulate the normal cell functioning by increasing the availability of glucose. Diabetes can be caused by too little insulin, resistance to insulin, or both.
If Diabetes is not well controlled, it can lead to many complications including gangrene in which mostly the feet are affected, ulcers, kidney problems, heart complications, blindness etc. Therefore, it is necessary to have a good control of your blood sugar level.
