Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is a deficiency of insulin secreted by the β cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas or a decrease in the function of insulin, resulting in a higher concentration of glucose (blood sugar) in the blood than in normal people, resulting in glucose being excreted in the urine. It is a chronic disease characterized by a wide range of abnormalities in nutrient metabolism. If carbohydrate metabolism (tricarboxylic acid cycle, TCA cycle) is not performed smoothly, lactic acid accumulates in the body, blood is acidified, and blood viscosity increases, resulting in lesions of the vascular system. Therefore, once a diagnosis of diabetes is made, efforts should be made to prevent diabetic complications, especially vascular disorders. Genetic predisposition is important as an etiological factor, and most of them can be seen to be related to heredity, especially in children or young patients. Diet is also closely related to disease. Diabetes treatment methods include diet therapy, drug therapy, and exercise therapy, and appropriate treatment methods should be selected according to each individual's symptoms. The most appropriate way to prevent or treat diabetes is to properly combine diet therapy and exercise therapy. If you exercise regularly and eat the right foods, you can prevent diabetes in advance. Diabetic patients need to pay attention to promoting metabolism, maintaining a normal weight, and preventing complications to maintain blood cholesterol and triglycerides as well as blood sugar levels. Among them, the most basic of diabetes treatment is diet therapy.

Among the complications of diabetes, the most important and fatal are vascular lesions, which include hypertension, arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, stroke (cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage), vascular dementia, renal failure, retinopathy, and foot gangrene. Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by a wide range of abnormalities in nutrient metabolism centered on carbohydrate metabolism. Therefore, even if the condition seems to improve by well controlling blood glucose and urine glucose levels with insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents, vascular lesions progress slowly over a long period of time. Therefore, when more than 10 years of diabetes have elapsed, complications such as kidney failure, heart failure, and cerebrovascular failure due to vascular lesions occur in most cases or other complications. Therefore, when a diagnosis of diabetes is made, one should work hard to prevent vascular lesions immediately. On the other hand, plums contain a large amount of organic acids such as citric acid, which is effective in relieving fatigue and preventing diabetes, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, etc. It is desirable to take it for a long time because it has preventive and auxiliary treatment effects. Since plums are harvested between the end of May and mid-June every year, in order to take them throughout the year, make and store plum concentrate or measure plums in sugar to obtain plum extract. or make pickled plums by soaking the flesh of plums in sugar and storing them. However, if you drink plum concentrate in water, it is inconvenient to drink because of the strong acidity and bitter taste unique to plum, and if you drink it for a long time, you may damage your teeth due to high acidity.
