DIABETES
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how the body processes blood sugar (glucose), which is essential for energy production in cells. In individuals with diabetes, either the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin, as in type 1 diabetes, or the body becomes resistant to insulin, as seen in type 2 diabetes. This leads to elevated blood sugar levels that, if unmanaged, can cause serious health complications, including heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney problems. Managing diabetes requires lifelong attention to diet, exercise, and often medication, but understanding its causes can help in reducing risk and improving outcomes.

Common Factors Contributing to Diabetes:
-
Genetic Predisposition
-
Obesity and Poor Diet
-
Physical Inactivity
-
Hormonal Changes and Conditions
With proper management and awareness, individuals with diabetes can lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Early diagnosis and proactive measures, such as maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress, play a vital role in preventing or managing the condition. As research continues, advancements in treatment, including regenerative therapies like stem cells, hold promise for those affected, potentially offering new avenues to support insulin production and improve glucose regulation in the future.
