Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way the body manages glucose, the main source of energy for our cells. When insulin, the hormone that transports glucose into the cells, does not function properly or is not produced enough, blood sugar can rise above normal levels. A diabetes diagnosis does not mean a limited life. With the right information, support, and technology, you can maintain an active daily life and protect your long-term health. There are many resources, support groups, and innovative treatments that make managing diabetes easier than ever.

Types of Diabetes

  • Type 1: The immune system attacks the cells that produce insulin. It usually appears in children or young adults and requires daily insulin administration.
  • Type 2: The most common type, appearing mainly in adults. It is caused by insulin resistance or reduced production. Its management includes diet, exercise, and, if necessary, medication.
  • Gestational Diabetes: Temporary blood sugar increase during pregnancy, which can affect both the mother and the baby.

Symptoms You Should Not Ignore

  • Constant thirst and dry mouth
  • Frequent urination
  • Feeling tired or weak
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Blurred vision or slow-healing wounds
