Diabetes is a chronic condition where blood sugar levels are elevated due to insufficient insulin production or improper insulin use by the body.

Common symptoms include:

• Frequent urination
• Increased thirst
• Fatigue
• Unexplained weight loss

Although diabetes cannot always be cured, it can be effectively managed through a balanced diet, regular exercise, medication, and routine health checkups.

Early detection and lifestyle changes are key to preventing complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.
