People from the age of six and adults who have been diagnosed with diabetes (hypoglycemia) require additional insulin to control their blood sugar levels. High blood sugar is a potentially serious or even fatal condition and needs to be treated and monitored constantly.

Diabetes is diagnosed by employing laboratory analysis of blood and urine samples. Type 1 diabetes blood samples contain remnants of antibodies that attack the pancreas, the site of insulin production. Type 2 diabetics have high sugar content in the urine or blood.
