Almost every person worldwide is cognizant that only sugar is the sole cause of diabetes. We, humans acquire diabetes when the level of sugar rises. But are we correct? Do we have the sufficient information? The only answer to this is a "NO". The truth about diabetes holds an untold story but people around the world may be aware of it only to a limited extent. Although our body needs glucose but in certain cases, the sugar which we get from what we eat, is not processed by the glucose in our body. When the sugar is not processed efficiently by our body, then we tend to develop diabetes. When in the beginning of the disease one comes to know the symptoms, he/she can avoid serious complications and can be cured with the help of proper treatment which includes a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Diabetes is of three types. First is type 1 diabetes which develops when the body is not in the position to produce insulin anymore. Second is type 2 diabetes which develops when the insulin in the body is not used effectively by the body. There are many symptoms of diabetes which include excessive thirst, blurred vision, excessive hunger, and excessive frequent urination. Often, insulin shots and various other drugs are taken to control diabetes but diet and exercise play an important role in controlling diabetes. Diabetes effects are also controlled with various other herbs available.

Various measures are available for treating diabetes. Recently, a new drug is found available in UAE for the treatment of diabetes. This drug is developed with the toxin secreted by the lizard. This lizard is a specie native to the US. The drug is named Byetta (Exenatide) and is an artificial version of Gila monster's toxin which is helpful in regulating the blood sugar level.
