Diabetes is a Metabolic disease that causes Highblood sugar.The hormone insulin moves sugar from the blood into your cells to be stored or used for energy. When diabetes strikes your body either does'nt make enough insulin or cant effectively use the insulin it does make. If a person is consuming too much sugar ( carbohydrate ) your pancrease starts pumping out more insulin .Eventually overworked Pancrease will breakdown and your blood sugar levels will rise..

Indulge in various forms of workout like Briskwalk in nature,running or slow jog,cycling,swimming,games like badminton or table tennis,Yoga which is highly beneficial.
3.Stress: When a person is confronting stress which is usually called fight or flight response .This response elevates a hormone called cortisol into your blood stream.When this happens repeatedly over a period of time the body immune system is weakened and may also affect organs like pancrease for insulin production.One must learn to control stress effectively and adopt a healthy lifestyle habits like Yoga,meditation and refrain from negative habits such as worry,anger,addiction.
4. Learn to Sleep well: Sleep can affect your blood sugar levels and your blood glucose levels also could affect your sleep.
