Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar levels in the body, primarily caused by the inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin or the body’s cells not responding effectively to insulin. Glucose, derived from the food consumed, is essential for energy production, but in diabetics, this process becomes disrupted. Sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy dietary habits, and obesity significantly increase the risk of developing diabetes.

This chronic condition can lead to severe complications over time if left unmanaged. It increases the likelihood of strokes, heart diseases, and nerve damage, while prolonged high glucose levels can harm the eyes, kidneys, and even the nervous system. Diabetic neuropathy, for instance, can cause numbness in the limbs, sometimes necessitating amputation in extreme cases. The disease also weakens the immune system, making patients more susceptible to infections and delaying wound healing. Regular monitoring, a balanced diet, physical activity, and medical guidance are crucial in managing diabetes effectively and preventing its life-threatening complications.
