Diabetics are individuals who have diabetes, a chronic condition that affects how the body processes glucose, a type of sugar. This can occur when the body does not produce enough insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels, or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1, which is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and Type 2, which is more common in adults and often linked to lifestyle factors. Managing diabetes typically involves monitoring blood sugar levels, following a healthy diet, and sometimes taking medication.
