Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the body cannot produce or properly use insulin, hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.
When there is not enough insulin, or the body becomes resistant to its effects, blood sugar levels can become too high, leading to a variety of health problems.
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes, which usually develops in childhood and requires insulin injections, and type 2 diabetes, which is more common in adults and can often be managed with lifestyle changes and medication. Symptoms of diabetes can include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision.
