if sugar is important for human body then how diabetes (high and low) is so dangerous disease for humans?
In: 0
As a macronutrient, carbohydrates (whether ingested as sugars or starches) are important for fueling the body’s functions. However too much or too little sugar in your blood can have serious consequences. Too much can damage organs like the kidneys, and damage blood vessels, putting you at risk of stroke or heart attack, or neuropathy in your extremities, which can lead to losing limbs. Too little sugar in the blood, starves the body of fuel and causes whole systems to slow or shut down altogether. For good health, blood sugar levels need to stay within a certain range that is somewhere in the middle. Since diabetes is a disease in which the body cannot regulate its blood sugar levels, it has the potential to expose you to both extremes.
