Diabetes is a condition where an individual has abnormally high blood sugar levels, and impaired mebabolism resulting from decreased levels of insulin. This condition can cause a number of complications, especially when not managed properly. Studies reveal that oxidative impairment can contribute to tissue damage caused by diabetes. Hence, a diet high in antioxidants can help prevent complications triggered by diabetes.
