Diabetes affects how your body turns food into energy.
There are several types: Type 1, where the immune system attacks the pancreas, stopping insulin production; Type 2, caused by insulin resistance leading to high blood sugar; Type 1.5 (LADA), a slower-onset autoimmune form in adults; Gestational, high blood sugar during pregnancy; and Prediabetes, the stage before Type 2.
Managing diabetes involves regular blood sugar monitoring, oral medications, insulin injections, and a healthy, balanced diet.
Proper management helps prevent complications and maintain overall health.
