Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when your blood glucose (blood sugar) levels are too high. Blood glucose is your primary source of energy, derived from the foods you consume. Insulin, a pancreatic hormone, transports glucose from food into your cells and is used for energy. Sometimes your body does not produce enough—or any—insulin or does not use it properly. Glucose then remains in your bloodstream and does not reach your cells.

Symptoms of Diabetes:

Common symptoms of diabetes include:

• Increased thirst and hunger
• Frequent urination
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue
• Blurred vision
• Slow-healing sores
• Frequent infections

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis.
