Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases associated with disorders in the metabolism of glucose and insulin in the body. It occurs when the body loses the ability to properly use the hormone insulin, producing insufficient amounts or becoming insensitive to its action.

The level of sugar (more precisely, glucose) in the blood is a vital indicator that must be monitored in the case of diabetes. This disease is characterized by the fact that the body loses the ability to transform glucose into energy – and its level rises to dangerous levels.

Based on research data, there is a possibility that drinking coffee may alter insulin production and raise blood sugar levels in diabetic patients – at least in people with a certain combination of genes and increased sensitivity to caffeine.

Visceral fat is the most dangerous type of fat for health. It is not only deposited on the internal organs and squeezes the stomach forward, but also disrupts metabolism – in particular, it affects the hormonal level and is also the cause of chronic hunger.
