Myths and Facts about Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the body is unable to properly process glucose, leading to high levels of sugar in the blood. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes, which is characterized by the body's inability to produce insulin, and type 2 diabetes, which occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin. Diabetes can have serious consequences if left untreated, including damage to the eyes, kidneys, and nerves, as well as an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Despite the challenges of managing this condition, there are effective treatments available to help people with diabetes lead healthy, active lives.
