Diabetic wine

Diabetes mellitus (honey-sweet flow, honey dysentery), commonly known as "diabetes", is one of the most common chronic diseases in middle and old age and increasingly also in younger people (disease of civilisation). The main characteristic is an elevated blood sugar level (hyperglycaemia), which is associated with a risk of serious concomitant and secondary diseases. Type 2 diabetes (colloquially known as adult-onset diabetes, but the term is outdated as the disease does not only affect older people) is the most common form of diabetes. It is caused by a lack of insulin action in the body's cells. As a result, not enough sugar can get from the blood into the tissue, the concentration of sugar in the blood is increased and yet a lack of energy can occur in the cells.
