Understanding Diabetes

What Is Diabetes?

Diabetes occurs when the body either cannot produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. This leads to high blood sugar levels. Diabetes can cause various symptoms, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, and extreme fatigue. It is commonly associated with factors such as obesity, genetics, and lifestyle choices.

Symptoms of Diabetes

• Increased Thirst: Excessive thirst is a common symptom due to high blood sugar levels.
• Frequent Urination: The body tries to get rid of excess sugar through urination.
• Extreme Hunger: Despite eating, individuals may feel hungry due to insulin resistance.
• Unexplained Weight Loss: This can occur even when eating more than usual.
• Fatigue: High blood sugar can cause tiredness and lethargy.

Treatments for Diabetes

If you experience symptoms of diabetes, immediate action is required to manage it. Here are some quick treatments:

• Medication: Oral medications or insulin injections to regulate blood sugar.
• Dietary Changes: Reducing sugar intake and eating balanced meals.
• Exercise: Regular physical activity to help lower blood sugar levels.
