Understanding Diabetes and Its Challenges
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. There are three main types: Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes. Managing diabetes involves monitoring blood glucose levels, maintaining a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and taking medications or insulin as needed.
Challenges of Diabetes Management
People with diabetes often face several challenges, including managing blood sugar levels, preventing complications such as foot problems and high blood pressure, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Effective diabetes management requires a comprehensive approach that addresses these challenges holistically.
