Diabetes Mellitus is the name of a metabolic disorder
which is a consequence of the ductless glands 'the islets of langerhans' in a persons
pancreas not producing sufficient amount of insulin which is vital to control the level
of sugar in the blood.
There are two types of diabetes and
both require different treatments. But the aim of the treatment in both cases is to
ensure that the blood sugar level is always kept at an optimum
level.
If the blood sugar level is not maintained at an
optimum level, then all the vital organs of the body are
affected.
Uncontrolled diabetes affects the peripheral
nerves which shrink and wither away, once this happens in the eye the affected person's
eyesight is affected. If this is not treated he/she may become completely
blind.
