Answer 1

Hint: The main sugar found in the blood is glucose, so it is also known as blood sugar. This glucose is carried by the blood to all the body cells for providing them energy for their functions. The main source of glucose is the food we eat.

Complete answer:
The condition in which the blood sugar increases more than the normal level is known as diabetes. It means that blood has too much glucose which can cause serious effects.

The blood sugar level in the blood is maintained by a hormone called insulin which is secreted by the pancreas. If the pancreas stops working properly and does not release enough insulin in the body then the blood glucose level increases and it leads to type-1 diabetes in the person. Another type is type-2 diabetes in which the pancreas releases enough insulin but the cells in the body are not able to utilize that insulin properly.

The common symptoms of diabetes are frequent thirsts, hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, weight loss, fatigue, etc. In severe cases the other organs of the body like heart, kidney and eye may also get affected.

A person having such a disorder must take care of himself. He must keep checking his blood sugar level at regular intervals and take medicines for it. He must follow a special diet that will take care of his blood sugar level and do exercises. Regular exercise and walks help absorb muscle cells, the glucose in the blood which helps in controlling its level in the blood.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: A person suffering from diabetes must take special care of his foot health as blisters, abrasions and breaks in the foot skin are common problems faced by them. In severe cases, the person may also feel numbness in his foot.
