High sugar usually occurs after eating, but the insulin hormone produced by beta cells in the pancreas is the primary responsible for lowering it to its normal level, and the introduction of surplus cells to be used in energy to carry out its vital operations, and the excess is converted to fat, but in some people the pancreas becomes partially or completely incapable of insulin secretion, which is known as type 1 diabetes, or in other cases, insulin is ineffective, so cells do not respond to sugar, which is known as type 2 diabetes.
In both cases, blood sugar levels continue to rise, causing dysfunction in many other organs if they persist. Diabetes is treated either by injection of the insulin hormone prepared by genetic engineering or by pills that increase insulin efficiency. In the end both solutions are a type of medication, which must have side effects, and no matter how high the quality, it will not reach the efficiency of natural insulin extracted from the pancreas, so it is recommended for diabetic dieting low-calorie food, and the addition of foods and herbs that help to work the medicines given.
