If a person in unable to regulate his or her blood sugar, the first consideration would be their diet. It is extremely important for diabetics to understand how food interacts and affects their blood sugar. A meal diary is a good start. Write down everything (every thing! bites & nibbles included) you eat and the amount for a 24 hour period. Be sure to take your blood sugar before you eat and 2 hours after you eat to see how certain foods affect you. Portion sizes should be looked at when preparing a meal because what is on the side of the box is "X" number of calories/carbohydrates/proteins/sugars etc. per serving. It is very important to have regular visits with your health care provider to discuss blood sugar levels and diet recommendations. When your blood sugar is unstable you may need to see your health care provider weekly or biweekly until the right combination of diet, medication/insulin is achieved.

If there is too much glucose in the body it is not being converted and stored. This is due to the lack of the hormone insulin produced by the endocrine glands on the pancreas called the Islets of langerhans.
A disorder called Diabetes mellitus develops where a person may go into a hyperglycaemic coma if too much glucose is present in the blood. They will need insulin injections to help convert the glucose to glycogen in order to be stored in the liver ready for use.
