Diabetes

 



It seems like you're referring to "diabetes." Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy, and it primarily involves issues with the hormone insulin. Let me provide a quick overview:

Types of Diabetes:

  1. Type 1 Diabetes:

    • An autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
    • Usually diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood.
    • Requires daily insulin injections.
  2. Type 2 Diabetes:

    • The body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough.
    • Often associated with lifestyle factors like diet, obesity, and inactivity.
    • Can be managed with lifestyle changes, medications, or insulin therapy.
  3. Gestational Diabetes:

    • Occurs during pregnancy and usually resolves after delivery.
    • Can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later.
  4. Prediabetes:

    • Blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet in the diabetes range.
    • Indicates a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Symptoms:

  • Increased thirst and hunger.
  • Frequent urination.
  • Fatigue.
  • Blurry vision.
  • Slow healing of wounds.
  • Unexplained weight loss (common in Type 1).

Management:

  • Diet: Focus on a balanced diet with low sugar and refined carbohydrates.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity helps regulate blood sugar.
  • Medication: Includes insulin or oral drugs for glucose management.
  • Monitoring: Regular blood sugar checks are essential.
