Diabetes is a condition in which you have too much glucose (sugar) in your blood. Glucose is an important energy source for your body, but if its levels become too high it can cause health problems, including heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, nerve damage, etc.
Diabetes is a serious disease, once it occurs it can never be cured, rather it has to be kept under control throughout life. At present, there is no cure for diabetes, but it can be kept under control with medicine, diet, and exercise. Dry fruits are considered powerful in controlling diabetes. Professor Dr. SK Gautam of Kanpur-based GSVM Medical College and his team have clarified in their research that regular consumption of just 28 grams of dry fruits can prove helpful in preventing dangerous levels of diabetes.
According to a news published in Hindustan newspaper, the results of research conducted on pre-diabetic and diabetic patients were also surprising.
