Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a condition in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin, leading to high levels of glucose in the blood. Insulin is a hormone that helps to regulate the amount of sugar in the blood and allows cells to use it for energy. When the body is unable to produce enough insulin or becomes resistant to its effects, it can have serious consequences on one's health. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. This type of diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood and requires daily insulin injections to manage blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, is the more common type and is usually diagnosed in adults. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough to meet its needs. Diabetes is a complex and multifaceted disease that is influenced by various factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors
