What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition that affects the body’s ability to process blood glucose (sugar). If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, and vision problems.
Type 1 Diabetes
An autoimmune condition where the body stops producing insulin. Patients require insulin therapy and blood sugar monitoring.
Type 2 Diabetes
A condition where the body develops insulin resistance and struggles to regulate blood glucose levels. Treatment includes diabetes medications, insulin therapy, and lifestyle changes.
Prediabetes
A warning stage where blood sugar levels are elevated but not yet classified as diabetes. Early intervention can prevent Type 2 Diabetes.
Gestational Diabetes
A condition affecting pregnant women, leading to high blood sugar levels. It requires specialized monitoring to protect both mother and baby.
