Diabetes mellitus, often simply referred to as diabetes—is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
There are three main types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes
Gestational diabetes

Controlling your blood glucose level is a very important part of managing diabetes. Regularly testing your blood glucose helps measure the effectiveness of your meal plan, physical activity and medications.
Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is an important & integral component of modern therapy for diabetes mellitus. SMBG has been recommended for people with diabetes in order to achieve a target level of glycemic control and thus achieve their HbA1c target. The goal of SMBG is to achieve target HbA1c by regularly monitoring blood glucose levels at different time intervals so as to check short term glycemic changes and enable maintenance of a more constant glucose level.

High blood sugar adversely affects the heart, the kidneys, the pancreas, the digestive system and the brain.
High Blood-Sugar affects our health
Uncontrollable blood sugar leads to too much urinating and over discussed symptoms , overworking the kidneys. Too much sugar in the bloodstream damages the heart tissue. The pancreas works too hard to secrete enough insulin to compensate for the high sugar amount.
Low Blood Sugar Symptoms
Low blood sugar makes a person appear drowsy or sleepy means hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia means serum glucose level (the amount of sugar or glucose in your blood) below 70 mg/dL. read more Hypoglycemia
If the sugar level drops too low, in the example of starvation, and the person doesn’t have enough insulin, the person can experience ketoacidosis.
Low blood sugar is even more dangerous than high blood sugar because it can lead to diabetic shock, coma and/or death.
Eat healthy and Sensibly
This is why it is important to eat sensibly, avoiding high amount of sugar and carbohydrates; exercise daily; and keep blood sugar levels under control.
By self-monitoring your blood glucose one can measure how the body handles different types of food, exercise, medication, stress and illness. Your blood glucose result may prompt you to eat a snack, take more insulin or go for a walk. Self-monitoring can also alert you to a blood glucose level that is too high or too low, which requires special treatment.
