Diabetes mellitus is a disease occurs when blood glucose is too high. Blood glucose is the main source of energy comes from the food. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose get into the cells to be used for energy. Sometimes body doesn’t make enough or any insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Glucose then stays in blood and doesn’t reach cells. Diabetes, various cardiovascular complications, wounds, kidney problems, and many other diseases are chronic. Natural and plant-based antioxidants are more frequently used for treatment of diabetes.
