Diabetes is a chronic medical condition characterized by elevated levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood, resulting from the body’s inability to produce sufficient insulin or effectively utilize the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1, which occurs when the pancreas produces little or no insulin, often diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood; and Type 2, which is more common and typically develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin, often associated with obesity and lifestyle factors. Symptoms of diabetes can include increased thirst, frequent urination, extreme fatigue, and blurred vision. Long-term uncontrolled diabetes can lead to various health complications, including cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, kidney damage, and eye problems. Proper management of diabetes includes regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, dietary modifications, physical activity, and, in some cases, insulin therapy or other medications.
