Diabetes Tests in Kochi

Diabetes is a long-lasting condition in which the pancreas loses its ability to produce insulin to the level of the body’s demands. Insulin is an essential component that is used for converting the digested sugar, from the eaten food, to the main bloodstream. It is insulin that helps the sugar released to be converted into energy.

If diabetes is present, the blood sugar levels get out of control. Either insulin does not get produced, or the body parts gradually start restricting the insulin produced. It can lead to complications like heart disease, kidney failure, and nerve damage if not managed properly.

There are four different forms and types of diabetes:

• Type 1 diabetes

• Type 2 diabetes

• Gestational diabetes

• Prediabetes
