Diabetes

Thesis Statement: Diabetic individuals are vulnerable to other conditions that can be fatal to their health.

Diabetes is a condition that emanates from the inability of the pancreas to execute its blood sugar regulatory functions. The condition is caused by factors that deter the emission and the effects of the pancreatic hormones such as insulin. Diabetes results into the development of secondary conditions in the body like high blood pressure. The condition is very hazardous to the body and needs prevention which has really affected the developing nations especially Mauritius and immigrants of Japanese.
