Diabetes or sugar or madhumeh is a medical condition in which there is either insufficiency of insulin or inability of the cells to use the provided insulin effectively and efficiently. Diabetes if not properly managed, may cause cardiovascular problems, kidney problems and blurred vision. Diabetes is a lifelong chronic disease. In this condition the body becomes unable to extract the sugar cells from the bloodstream to be used as energy. As a result there is a high-level of sugar in the blood and lower energy levels for the individual suffering from diabetes. This chronic disease sometimes can be caused because of the some viral infections.

Diabetes is caused by the increase in sugar level. This can be because of obesity, stress and diet. Exercise helps to keep the sugar level to normal in the blood cells. It also helps to control the stress level which again is the root cause of diabetes. By daily doing light exercise many problems related to diabetes like kidney disorder, cardiovascular problems, constipation can be easily and effectively cured.
