Overview
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how the body uses blood sugar (glucose). Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes require ongoing management with diet, lifestyle, and often medication or insulin.
When to See a Doctor
If you have symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, or blurred vision, or if you have risk factors (family history, overweight), see a doctor for screening.
More Information
Management includes blood glucose monitoring, healthy eating, physical activity, and medications as prescribed. An endocrinologist specializes in diabetes and can help create a personalized care plan.
