Diabetes

Diabetes is a long-term illness in which the body’s ability to process blood glucose, often known as blood sugar, is impaired. Diabetes comes in a variety of forms, each with a unique course of therapy.

Patients may experience blood sugar levels rise if it is not continuously and carefully managed, which raises the chance of serious side effects like heart attack and stroke.

There are numerous types of diabetes, and each has a unique management strategy. Not all types of diabetes are brought on by obesity or a sedentary lifestyle. Some have existed from childhood.

Diabetes comes in three main subtypes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes, which we go into more depth about below. Congenital diabetes and cystic fibrosis-related diabetes are less typical forms of the disease.
