Rybstein Medical13 Sep, 2021Health

Diabetes mellitus, or commonly known as diabetes, is a metabolic disease in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or is unable to effectively utilize the produced insulin. Insulin is a natural hormone produced by your body?s pancreas gland to control the level of glucose (a type of sugar) in the blood. As a result, this causes the bloodstream to accumulate excess sugar. Internal medicine specialists in Long Island recommend annual physicals and a healthy lifestyle to prevent this condition. However, when detected, it must be controlled with proper treatment to prevent further damage to the nerves, eyes, kidneys, and other organs.
