Diabetes is a chronic health condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, resulting from the body’s inability to produce sufficient insulin or effectively use the insulin it does produce. Insulin is a hormone crucial for regulating glucose, the body’s primary energy source. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1, typically diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, and Type 2, more common in adults and often associated with lifestyle factors. Left unmanaged, diabetes can lead to various complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves. Management involves a combination of medication, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels to promote optimal health and mitigate potential complications.
