Diabetes is a chronic health condition that occurs when the body cannot effectively regulate blood sugar levels. This can happen due to insufficient insulin production by the pancreas or the body's cells becoming resistant to insulin. There are two main types: Type 1 Diabetes, which is often diagnosed in children and young adults, and Type 2 Diabetes, which is more common in adults and is often linked to obesity. Managing diabetes involves monitoring blood sugar levels, maintaining a healthy diet, and regular physical activity. In some cases, medication or insulin therapy may be necessary to help control blood sugar levels and prevent complications such as heart disease and kidney damage.
