Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic disease that is caused by high levels of blood sugar, or glucose, that eventually causes damage to the heart, blood vessels, nerves, kidneys, and eyes. There are two types of diabetes, the most common being type 2 occurring in adults and happens when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin. The World Health Organization reports that over 420 million people have diabetes worldwide, with dramatic increases over the past few decades. Early diagnosis is critical as the longer a person lives with an undiagnosed and untreated condition, the worse the health outcomes. Treatment includes controlling blood sugar levels mostly through diet and physical activity levels, and when necessary medication, along with regular screenings.
