Passage: "Most people may think it's hard to follow a weight - loss diet and exercise regime. But people with diabetes ignore the risks at their peril! all diabetes is serious, and can lead to devastating complications that are usually irreversible and often fatal. Too much sugar in your blood damages the vascular system and organs. That means people with diabetes are much more pone to cardiovascular disease and are three times more likely than most people to have high cholesterol, high blood pressure or obesity. Many people with diabetes end up dying as a result of a heart attack or stroke. Blood glucose can also damage the small blood vessels, which causes problems in the eyes, kidneys, feet and nerves. That means that if the diabetes isn't well-controlled, people are looking at kidney failure or lower limb damage requiring amputation. Exercising losing weight can reduce the risk of all of these complications, but what many people don't realize is that their diabetes is a progressive disease. 'Only about 10% of patients are able to maintain normal glucose levels with lifestyle modifications, and that too only up to one or two years,' says Dr. Makkar. 'Most patients will eventually require lifelong medication.'"
This passage is mainly about ..........
(a) Cure of diabetes
(b) cause of diabetes
(c) effect of diabetes
(d) problem of diabetes
Answer
(d) problem of diabetes
The passage describes the seriousness of diabetes, its complications (heart disease, kidney failure, amputation), and the difficulty of controlling it, so it is about the problem of diabetes in general, not just its cure or its cause.
