"Product Description: Thriving with Diabetes: Your Guide to Overcoming Psychological Challenges and Finding Vital Social SupportA Growing Epidemic: Diabetes UnveiledDiabetes Mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder, is on the rise, affecting millions of lives globally every year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an alarming 347 million people worldwide grapple with diabetes. Unless we find better control or a cure, WHO projects diabetes to become the 7th leading cause of death by 2030. India, bearing the weight of 65.1 million diabetics, has earned the ominous title of the ""Diabetic Capital"" of the world (International Diabetes Federation 2013). Understanding DiabetesDiabetes mellitus encompasses a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia, a condition resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. In a healthy body, glucose plays a pivotal role as the primary source of energy. It's the fuel that keeps us going. During digestion, the carbohydrates we consume break down into glucose, which enters the bloodstream and fuels our cells. However, in diabetes, this metabolic harmony is disrupted. The body struggles to metabolize food correctly due to inadequate insulin supply or efficiency. The pancreas, nestled behind the stomach, holds the key, producing insulin and glucagon. Normally, the pancreas releases insulin in perfect proportion to the blood glucose level, acting like a conductor leading an orchestra of metabolic processes. But in diabetes, this coordination falters. It's as if the conductor loses their baton, leading to a mismatch between insulin supply and blood glucose levels.
