Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, either because the body doesn't produce enough insulin or because the body's cells don't respond properly to insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose (sugar) from food get into cells to be used for energy. High blood sugar over time can lead to various health complications.
Symptoms:
Common symptoms include increased thirst and urination, unexplained weight loss, increased hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing sores.
Complications:
Long-term high blood sugar can lead to serious complications like heart disease, nerve damage (neuropathy), kidney disease (nephropathy), eye damage (retinopathy), and foot problems.
Prevention:
Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight, can help prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.
