People with diabetes are at a higher risk of infections due to uncontrolled blood sugar levels.1 When blood sugar levels go up, it reduces immunity. Scientific studies also show that people with diabetes are at a higher risk of complications if contracted with an infection.
If diabetes is managed well in diabetics who have contracted infections, the risk of getting severely sick is about the same as in the general population.2 Every person with diabetes has differently targeted blood sugar levels, hence it is important to understand your targeted blood sugar levels with the help of experts.
Along with regular medication and exercise, Ensure Diabetes Care helps in managing blood sugar levels in 4 weeks3 as its low Glycaemic Index formula releases glucose slowly as compared to high glycaemic index foods.
