There are two main types of diabetes:
- Type 1 diabetes, where the body does not produce insulin.
- Type 2 diabetes, where the body does not use insulin effectively.
Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, tiredness, and slow healing of wounds. Diabetes can be managed with a healthy diet, regular exercise, medication, and monitoring blood sugar levels.
Diabetes is a long-term health condition that affects how the body controls blood sugar (glucose). It happens when the body does not make enough insulin or cannot use insulin properly. Insulin is a hormone that helps move sugar from the blood into the cells for energy.
