Diabetes is a condition where there is absolutely no insulin in the body; this leads to abnormalities in the metabolic system as processing carbohydrates, fats and protein become difficult. A person suffering from diabetes feels hungry and thirsty most of the time, does not put on any weight and gets physically and mentally drained.
