DiabetesDiabetes (otherwise known as diabetes mellitus, DM) is described as a metabolic disorder in which your body cannot properly store and use fuel for energy.
The fuel that your body needs is called glucose (sugar). Glucose comes from foods such as breads, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes, fruits and some vegetables and is also made in your liver and muscles. Your blood carries glucose to all of your body's cells to use for energy.
To use glucose, your body needs insulin. Insulin is the hormone made by a gland in your body called the pancreas. Insulin regulates blood glucose by stimulating the removal of glucose from the blood and its uptake into muscle, liver and fat cells where it can be stored for energy.
Sometimes your body does not make enough insulin or the insulin does not work the way it should. Glucose then stays in your blood and does not reach your cells. Your blood glucose levels get too high (hyperglycemia) and can cause diabetes or prediabetes. Prediabetes is when blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes.
Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems.
Prickly Pear drops come from chappathi Kalli(NOPAL CACTUS) which is recommended for diabetes.My grandmother used to dry the stems and cooked in curries and we have tasted it.
Nopales or nopalitos are the pads of the nopal cactus. People consume them as a dietary vegetable, and they regularly appear in restaurants, grocery stores, and farmers’ markets across the American Southwest and Mexico.
People can sautee them and add them to a range of dishes, including tacos and scrambled eggs, or prepare them as a side dish with tomatoes and onions.
Nopales are also edible when raw. When a person dices them, they resemble a green pepper. People can turn them into juice, jams, or tea.
People can also eat prickly pear fruit, which is the small, rounded, and often colorful part of the nopal plant.
Prickly pear fruit juice is a popular beverage for health-conscious consumers in Mexico.
