Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body uses sugar (glucose) from food. There are two main types: Type 1, where the body doesn’t produce insulin, and Type 2, where the body doesn’t use insulin effectively. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose enter cells for energy. Without proper management, diabetes can lead to serious complications, including heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney issues. Management typically involves lifestyle changes, monitoring blood sugar levels, and medication or insulin therapy. Early diagnosis and consistent care are crucial for maintaining health and preventing complications.
