Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels. It occurs when the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin. (Type 1) or can't effectively use the insulin it produces (Type 2). Early detection and proper management are crucial to prevent complications such as heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney problems.

Managing diabetes involves

• Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels
• Maintaining a balanced diet
• Engaging in regular physical activity
• Possibly taking medication

Educating yourself about diabetes and adhering to a healthy lifestyle can make a significant difference in managing this condition.
