It is very natural that when blood sugar or blood glucose gets high then your pancreas release insulin which signals your body to absorb glucose until your blood sugar gets normal.
But people who are diabetic means that there does not generate insulin(type 1) or it does not respond to it(type 2). Which ultimately results in no absorption of high blood sugar level and your blood is left with high sugar level for very long.
This caused damage to nerves and blood vessels and this results in heart and body diseases.
