Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). High blood sugar levels can lead to serious health complications if not managed properly. There are primarily three types of diabetes: Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational Diabetes.
Causes of Diabetes:
🔹 Genetic Factors: Family history can increase the risk.
🔹 Lifestyle Choices: Poor diet, lack of physical activity, and obesity.
🔹 Autoimmune Response: In Type 1 diabetes, the body’s immune system attacks insulin-producing cells.
🔹 Hormonal Changes: During pregnancy, some women develop gestational diabetes.
Common Symptoms:
✔ Frequent Urination
✔ Excessive Thirst and Hunger
✔ Unexplained Weight Loss
✔ Fatigue and Weakness
✔ Blurred Vision
✔ Slow-Healing Wounds
✔ Tingling or Numbness in Hands and Feet
