Diabetologist Dr. Pratap VGM's  Response
DEAR SIR/MADAM

DIABETES IS A METABOLIC DISORDER MAINLY INVOLVED WITH METABOLISM OF SUGARS AND LIPIDS.
IT IS ACQUIRED WHEN THE POTENCY OF THE BETA CELLS IN PANCREAS TO PRODUCE INSULIN DECREASES.

INSULIN IS A ANABOLIC HARMONE WHICH DECREASES THE BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS IN THE BLOOD.

SO WHEN EVER THE PRODUCTION OR ACTION OF INSULIN GETS IMPAIRED IN THE BODY THEN DIABETES OCCURS.
