 Most instances of this condition are mild and
are easily solved by consuming some glucose
rich foods.
 However, if left untreated, coma and death

14.  A device called a
glucometer can provide

reading. There are

devices. Usually, you
prick your finger with a

place the blood on a test
strip and put the strip

high levels of sugar (glucose)
in the blood. Type 2 diabetes
is the most common form of
