Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood glucose (sugar) levels due to issues with insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin plays a crucial role in helping glucose move from the bloodstream into cells, where it provides energy. In diabetes, the body either produces insufficient insulin or does not use it effectively, leading to an accumulation of glucose in the blood and potentially causing various health problems. In the United States, over 30 million people are affected by diabetes, a condition that significantly impacts daily life and overall health.
Common symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, and persistent fatigue. Additional signs may involve blurred vision, heightened hunger, and infections or sores that heal very slowly. These symptoms result from the body’s struggle to regulate glucose levels and can vary in severity depending on the individual and the type of diabetes.
