Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes is a complex and chronic condition that impacts millions of individuals worldwide.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, managing complications, or looking for preventive care, our team is here to help every step of the way.
Diabetes is characterized by high blood sugar levels, often due to the body’s inability to produce or effectively use insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Effective diabetes management is crucial to prevent complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, causing a deficiency in insulin. Individuals with Type 1 diabetes require daily insulin therapy to manage blood sugar levels.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough to regulate blood sugar effectively. Factors such as lifestyle, diet, and genetics can contribute to the onset of Type 2 diabetes.
Pre-Diabetes
Pre-diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are elevated but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. It serves as an early warning that the individual is at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes if preventive steps aren’t taken. Early intervention can often prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.
