What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a long-term health condition that negatively affects how the body utilises food to produce glucose for energy and results in an accumulation of extra glucose in the blood. Our bodies transform the food we eat into sugar, or glucose, which is subsequently released into the circulation. Diabetes, therefore, is an accumulation of too much glucose in the blood. Blood glucose, which is derived from meals, especially from macronutrients like carbs, lipids, and proteins, is the body's main source of energy. Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas, facilitates the entry of glucose from meals into body cells for use as an energy source.

What is Muscle Atrophy?
Muscle atrophy, a disorder that may cause one limb to be smaller than the other when the muscle mass deteriorates or becomes thin, is a condition that affects the body's muscle mass. Exercise and a good diet help reverse the disease (dieting). Muscle atrophy refers to a loss of muscle mass and power. The afflicted limb's muscle appears and feels smaller than usual.
