Diabetes is a chronic medical condition characterized by high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. This occurs when the body is unable to produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels, or when the body is unable to use insulin effectively. Diabetes can lead to a range of health complications, including heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision problems. It is typically managed through a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels.
