What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Normally, when you eat, your body breaks down food into sugar (glucose), and insulin helps move that sugar from your bloodstream into your cells to be used as energy. In diabetes, the body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it properly, leading to high levels of glucose in the blood.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if I might have diabetes?

Common symptoms include frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, blurry vision, and unexplained weight loss. If you experience these symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis.

Can diabetes be prevented?

While Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented, Type 2 diabetes risk can be reduced with a healthy diet, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and routine blood sugar monitoring.
