Polyuria or diabetes (also known as diabetes mellitus) is a serious, long-term condition that occurs when blood glucose levels are higher than normal for a long period of time, either because the body does not produce enough or any insulin, or because the insulin it does produce cannot be used effectively.
At least 50 percent of patients with diabetes do not know they have diabetes. For this reason, it is very important to increase the awareness of everyone about diabetes.
People, who have a strong immune system, do not realize that they are suffering from this disease at first. Because it is a slow killer. It will not put her in danger that day, but will slowly destroy her body.
Experts say that if diabetes is undiagnosed or untreated for a long time, kidneys, liver, and eyes are damaged. Along with that, the skin of the body is damaged, the hair falls. Other parts of the body can also suffer damage. Those who do more physical activity, if someone walks at least 10,000 steps every day, even if they are diabetic, it will be under control. But how many do that?
