Diabetes

Overview:

is a chronic medical condition in which the body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. This can lead to various health complications if not managed effectively. There are two main types of diabetes:

 

  1. Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This type requires insulin therapy for management.
  2. Type 2 Diabetes: A metabolic disorder where the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough insulin. Lifestyle changes and medications are often used for management.

  1. Frequent urination
  2. Excessive thirst
  3. Extreme hunger
  4. Unexplained weight loss
