Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the body is either unable to produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Without proper insulin function, glucose builds up in the blood, leading to a range of health complications.
There are primarily three types of Diabetes: Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational Diabetes. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition, while Type 2 is largely related to lifestyle factors. Gestational Diabetes occurs during pregnancy and usually resolves after childbirth. Early diagnosis, regular monitoring, and lifestyle changes are key to managing the disease and preventing complications.

Diabetes is diagnosed through blood tests such as fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and oral glucose tolerance tests. These tests help determine blood sugar levels and how well the body manages glucose.
There is no permanent cure for Diabetes, but it can be effectively managed. With lifestyle modifications, medication, and regular monitoring, many individuals live healthy, active lives.
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells. Type 2 is more common and often linked to lifestyle factors, where the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough of it.
