Cholesterol is the waxy, fatty and lipid solution circulating in the body. Its main function is to provide much required fat to the body and also produce sex hormones. Apart from fat providing, it also creates a protective coating to the arteries and its surrounding walls. Whereas diabetes is the condition when the body is unable to produce and use the insulin.
