What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic medical condition where the body either doesn't make enough insulin or doesn't use insulin effectively. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels, making sure they stay within a healthy range. There are three main types of diabetes: Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks the cells that produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes, the most common form, happens when the body doesn't use insulin well and is often due to lifestyle factors. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and usually goes away after childbirth, but it can increase the risk of getting Type 2 diabetes later in life.
