Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how the body uses blood sugar (glucose). It occurs when the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot use it effectively. There are mainly two types: Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, with Type 2 being more common. Symptoms include frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, and blurred vision. If not controlled, diabetes can lead to serious complications like heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve problems. Managing diabetes involves a healthy diet, regular exercise, monitoring blood sugar levels, and proper medication as advised by a healthcare professional.
