Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the body is unable to properly use glucose, a type of sugar, for energy. This can lead to a build-up of glucose in the blood, which can cause a variety of health problems.

There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose enter the body's cells for energy. Without insulin, the body is unable to use glucose properly, which can lead to high blood sugar levels.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin. This can lead to a build-up of glucose in the blood, which can cause high blood sugar levels.

Symptoms of Diabetes

The symptoms of diabetes can vary depending on the type of diabetes and the severity of the condition. Some of the most common symptoms of diabetes include:

* Frequent urination * Excessive thirst * Increased hunger * Weight loss * Fatigue * Blurred vision * Slow-healing sores * Frequent infections

Diagnosis of Diabetes

Diabetes is diagnosed with a blood test that measures the level of glucose in the blood. A blood glucose level of 126 mg/dL or higher after fasting for eight hours is considered to be diabetes.

Treatment of Diabetes

The treatment of diabetes depends on the type of diabetes and the severity of the condition. Treatment options for type 1 diabetes include insulin therapy, diet, and exercise. Treatment options for type 2 diabetes include diet, exercise, medication, and surgery.

Lifestyle Modifications for Diabetes

In addition to medical treatment, lifestyle modifications can also help to manage diabetes. Some of the most important lifestyle modifications for diabetes include:

* Eating a healthy diet * Getting regular exercise * Maintaining a healthy weight * Quitting smoking * Managing stress
