The food we consumed is converted to glucose by our body and this
glucose is utilized by the cells for the production of energy in various
metabolic reactions. Normally glucose is stored in the form of glycogen in
body’s cell. Body requires hormone ‘insulin’ produced by beta cells of pancreas
to help cells throughout the body for proper absorbance of
glucose from the bloodstream. Usually pancreas produce insulin in right
amount to utilize and assimilate the glucose but in diabetes, however, no or
very little insulin is produced (type 1 diabetes) or the cells are not
responding properly to the insulin (type 2 diabetes).

various antioxidants, especially the pancreatic cells of type-2 diabetics.
Zinc has its role in promoting
the synthesis of natural insulin. Magnesium and GLA in Spirulina helps in
