It ranks the 10th most common cause of death in Hong Kong. Diabetes occurs when your bloodstream has an increased level of sugar, called glucose. Normally our blood sugar rises after we eat something. This soon gets utilised by our muscles and cells through a key hormone called insulin. However, if there is an inadequate amount of insulin hormone being produced or the cells in our body does not respond to the insulin available, this results in an excess amount of sugar pooling around our bloodstream.
