Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. It is characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body’s inability to produce or use insulin effectively. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1, where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells, and Type 2, which is often linked to lifestyle factors such as poor diet and lack of exercise. Managing diabetes involves regular monitoring of blood sugar, medication, a healthy diet, and physical activity. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious health complications, including heart disease, kidney failure, and nerve damage.

Who qualifies for the procedure?

Anyone can develop diabetes, but certain factors increase the risk:

1.Type 1 Diabetes:
Often develops in children, teenagers, or young adults.
Family history of Type 1 diabetes increases risk.

2.Type 2 Diabetes:

More common in adults over 45, but increasingly seen in younger individuals.
Risk factors include obesity, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, family history of diabetes, and certain ethnic backgrounds (e.g., African American, Hispanic, Native American, Asian American).

Both types require ongoing management and monitoring to prevent complications.
