Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body regulates blood sugar (glucose).
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood sugar (glucose) is too high. If your body does not make enough insulin or cannot effectively use it, your blood sugar levels increase, leading to potentially dangerous health issues if you do not manage the condition.
Types of Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes:
An autoimmune disease in which the immune system destroys insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. It usually presents in the first three decades of life and needs insulin for survival.
Type 2 Diabetes:
Develops when the body is resistant to insulin or doesn’t make enough. More prevalent in adults, cases are increasing among young people, thanks to rising obesity. Frequently treatable and may even be reversible by lifestyle changes and medications
Type 3 Diabetes:
Develops during pregnancy and usually resolves after delivery. However, it increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.

Increased thirst and frequent urination
