Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body struggles to regulate blood sugar due to insufficient insulin production or insulin resistance. It can lead to serious complications like heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney problems. Effective management involves lifestyle changes, medication, and regular health monitoring.

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition characterized by high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. It occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin, the hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, or when the body’s cells become resistant to insulin’s effects. There are three main types of diabetes:

Type 1 Diabetes

  • An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
  • It often begins in childhood or adolescence, though it can develop at any age.
  • People with Type 1 diabetes need to take insulin injections or use an insulin pump for life.

Type 2 Diabetes

  • The most common form, usually developing in adults over the age of 45, although younger people, including children, can develop it as well.
  • It is associated with insulin resistance, where the body’s cells do not respond effectively to insulin.
  • Risk factors include obesity, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and genetics.
  • It can often be managed with lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, exercise, oral medications, and sometimes insulin.

Gestational Diabetes

  • Occurs during pregnancy and usually goes away after childbirth.
  • Increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.
  • It can affect the health of both mother and baby if not properly managed.
