Diabetes is your bodies inability to control the sugar in your blood (BG).  So you have to regulate it.  BG need to be between  70 and 140/mg/dl or 4-6 mmol/l  BG Significantly lower than 70  can if low enough cause death BG over 140 with enough time will cause complications of blindness, hart problems, kidney problems, infections, amputations of toes/feet/legs,  death.  If significantly high can cause coma.

stress, illness, carbohydrates raise BG
exercise, drugs  lower BG
