What are the symptoms of diabetes, and how does it impact my health?

What causes diabetes?

Diabetes may develop for several different reasons. Type 1 diabetes usually results from an autoimmune disorder that develops in childhood. The body misidentifies insulin-producing cells in the pancreas and attacks them, preventing them from regulating blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, can develop due to insulin resistance and may gradually develop over many years. Genetics, obesity, and physical inactivity may play a role in its appearance, but it is a chronic condition that is reversible with the right approach and care treatment plan.

How is diabetes addressed or treated?

Type 1 diabetes is best treated with insulin, while type 2 diabetes may be treated with insulin or lifestyle changes. It is important to have a clinical team who is knowledgeable and equipped to help you understand which approach is appropriate and when.
