Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body either cannot produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is necessary for regulating blood sugar (glucose) levels, which provide energy for cells. Types include Type 1 (autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells) and Type 2 (resulting from insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production). Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. Long-term complications may include heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision problems. Management involves blood sugar monitoring, medication (insulin or oral), healthy eating, regular exercise, and lifestyle adjustments to control blood sugar levels and prevent complications.
