Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. When you eat, your body breaks down food into glucose, a type of sugar that serves as the main source of energy for cells. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, helps glucose enter the cells to be used for energy. In diabetes, the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it produces, leading to high levels of glucose in the blood.
There are several types of diabetes:
1. **Type 1 Diabetes**: This type occurs when the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. People with Type 1 diabetes need to take insulin injections or use an insulin pump to survive.
2. **Type 2 Diabetes**: This is the most common type of diabetes, accounting for the majority of cases. In Type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin, and the pancreas may not produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels. It’s often associated with lifestyle factors such as obesity, unhealthy diet, and lack of physical activity.
3. **Gestational Diabetes**: This type develops during pregnancy and usually goes away after childbirth. However, women who have had gestational diabetes have an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.
Other less common types include monogenic diabetes and secondary diabetes, which can result from specific genetic conditions or as a side effect of certain medications or illnesses.
Symptoms of diabetes may include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, slow wound healing, and recurrent infections. However, some people may not experience any symptoms, especially in the early stages.
Long-term complications of diabetes can affect various organs and systems in the body, including the eyes (diabetic retinopathy), kidneys (diabetic nephropathy), nerves (diabetic neuropathy), and cardiovascular system (increased risk of heart disease and stroke). Proper management of diabetes through medication, lifestyle modifications (such as healthy eating, regular exercise, and weight management), and regular monitoring of blood glucose levels can help reduce the risk of complications and improve quality of life for people with diabetes.
