Overview

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes glucose, or sugar, in the bloodstream. It occurs when the body either does not produce enough of the hormone insulin, or when cells cannot properly process the insulin that is produced. Insulin helps move sugar from the bloodstream into the body's cells, where it can be used as energy. When sugar can't move into the cells, it accumulates in the bloodstream, resulting in high blood sugar levels that can lead to long-term health complications. These complications include an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, vision loss, and nerve damage. People with diabetes must manage their condition through lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a balanced diet and regular physical activity, and often require medication to keep their blood sugar levels under control. Proper management of diabetes can help people maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce the risk for long-term complications.
