What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a long-term medical condition that occurs when your body is unable to properly manage sugar (glucose) levels in the blood. It can lead to serious health problems if not managed well. There are two main types of diabetes:

• Type 1 Diabetes: The body doesn’t produce insulin, a hormone needed to allow glucose into the cells for energy.
• Type 2 Diabetes: The body doesn’t use insulin properly or doesn’t produce enough insulin, causing high blood sugar levels.

Managing diabetes is crucial to prevent complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and eye problems.
