1.Diabetes Mellitus
If the pancreas fails to secrete normal amounts of
the hormone insulin, the condition known as
diabetes mellitus develops.
The body no longer burns sugar and the blood
sugar concentrations rise. The body now burns fats
instead. This is an undesirable state of affairs, for

toxic and they tend to promote the development of
acidity. Coma and death can result.

prone to develop in those individuals who are
overweight.
