 An endocrine disorder; a group of metabolic
diseases characterised by elevated levels of
glucose in the blood resulting from defects in
insulin secretion, insulin action, insulin
receptors or any combination of conditions.

OR E A S I L Y P U T … .

 Cells are swimming in glucose (their food) but

starving to death because of insulin issues.
 Type I: Destruction of beta cells->
decreased insulin production->uncontrolled
glucose production-> HYPERGLYCEMIA

Type II: Decreased sensitivity of insulin

receptor to insulin-> less uptake of glucose->
HYPERGLYCEMIA

 Exercising regularly

 Eating a healthy well balanced diet

are at a higher risk of developing
cardiovascular complications).
 Avoid alcohol
