Diabetes: Damages nerves & blood vessels!!

• In Diabetes blood glucose (sugar) level is increased. Normally, the body breaks down food into glucose and carries it to cells throughout the body.
• The cells use a hormone called insulin to turn the glucose into energy. High blood glucose levels damage nerves and blood vessels, leading to complications such as heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death among people with diabetes.

Obesity: Excess of fat affects blood lipid levels!!
