Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which blood contains high sugar levels for a long period of time. There are 2 types of Diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition where the body’s immune system attacks its own pancreas which leads to decreased insulin production. It mostly affects kids and adolescence. In Type 2 diabetes body is unable to utilize the insulin produced by the pancreas (insulin resistance).

After discussing this with your doctor you can buy one of the various glucometers available in the market to measure your blood glucose level on regular basis. Your doctor can tell you the routine for measuring blood glucose levels according to your condition.
