When the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or it does not correctly use the insulin then the glucose does not get into the cells to produce energy for our body. Click Here!

According to medical experts, people should have blood glucose levels of 70 to 120 mg/dl. Diabetics should have blood sugar levels less than 130 mg/dl when fasting (they have not eaten for several hours). After eating, the blood glucose levels of a diabetic should be less than 180 mg/dl per the experts. Click Here!
