Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body struggles to regulate blood sugar due to insulin issues. Types include Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes, each with unique causes and treatments. Without care, diabetes can lead to complications like heart disease and kidney failure.

Prevention involves maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, staying active, and reducing stress.

Management requires balanced eating, regular exercise, and choosing low-glycemic foods to improve blood sugar control and health.
