Glucose is the fuel that every living cell of our body requires for energy. We get glucose from carbohydrates rice, roti, bread, fruits, table sugar and cereals, to name a few. The complex carbohydrates get broken down into simple carbohydrates, that is glucose, which enters our blood stream from our intestines. A small organ sitting behind the stomach pouch called the pancreas releases a hormone called insulin. Glucose needs a key to enter the locked cells. That key is insulin. Diabetes is a condition where this mechanism of lock and key fails. While there’s enough glucose in the bloodstream, the key either goes missing or the keyhole gets blocked with fat. Hence, despite the high level of glucose in the blood, body cells continue to starve for it.
