Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes glucose, leading to high blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes results from the immune system attacking insulin-producing cells, while type 2 diabetes occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough. Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue. Management involves monitoring blood sugar levels, adopting a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and, in some cases, taking medication or insulin injections. Complications of diabetes include heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and nerve damage. With proper management, individuals with diabetes can lead healthy lives.
