New Delhi | Jagran Lifestyle Desk: On May 31st each year, World tobacco day is observed In 2022, the theme of World No Tobacco Day is 'Tobacco’s threat to our environment'. Every year over 8 million people die due to tobacco consumption, according to World Health Organization (WHO). Consuming tobacco causes heart disease, stroke, dementia, cancer and diabetes. Moreover, it is also a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
According to US Food and Drugs Administration, there are two types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. People suffering from Type 1 diabetes do not produce insulin, which is a hormone produced by the pancreas for converting the glucose and carbohydrates that we eat into energy the body can use. Then, people with Type 2 diabetes have an abnormality in the way their bodies use the insulin that causes blood sugar or blood glucose to be too high. It is a serious condition which accounts for more than 90 per cent of all diabetes cases.
