QUESTION & ANSWER

Everything You Want to Know About Diabetes

Comprehensive care and guidance to help you manage diabetes effectively, improve your health, and live a balanced, fulfilling life.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Glucose is energy for your body and comes from the food you eat.

When glucose enters your bloodstream, it triggers the release of insulin, a hormone made in the pancreas that gets the glucose from your blood into the cell.

People have diabetes because of problems with insulin. They either don’t make any insulin, or the insulin cannot get the glucose into the cell. How your insulin is affected plays a role in determining diabetes type, which includes:

Type 1 diabetes: People with Type 1 diabetes don’t make any insulin and must take insulin injections. This type of diabetes usually appears during childhood or adolescence.

Type 2 diabetes: People with Type 2 diabetes make insulin, but it’s not working as it should. This type of diabetes affects all ages but is most often diagnosed in adults.

Diabetes is a serious illness. When left uncontrolled, the excess glucose in your blood damages your body, putting you at risk of other health issues like heart disease and neuropathy.
