Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). Proper management is crucial to prevent complications and maintain a healthy lifestyle. At our Diabetes Care Clinic, we provide comprehensive support and personalized treatment plans to help you manage your diabetes effectively.

Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes occurs when your body either doesn’t produce enough insulin (a hormone that regulates blood sugar) or can’t use insulin effectively. There are two main types:

Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It typically develops in childhood or adolescence and requires lifelong insulin therapy.
Type 2 Diabetes: The most common form, usually developing in adulthood. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough. Lifestyle changes and medications can help manage it.
