What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body struggles to regulate blood sugar due to issues with insulin production or effectiveness. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, helps glucose enter the body’s cells for energy. When this process is disrupted, excess glucose builds up in the bloodstream, leading to health complications.
There are three primary types of diabetes:
- Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the body stops producing insulin. Often diagnosed in children or young adults, it requires lifelong insulin management.
- Type 2 Diabetes: The most common form, often linked to aging, lifestyle factors, and family history. It develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough.
- Gestational Diabetes: A temporary condition that occurs during pregnancy and can increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.
Unmanaged diabetes can lead to serious complications, including heart disease, kidney issues, nerve damage, vision problems, and poor wound healing. Early intervention and consistent care are essential for maintaining long-term health.
