Diabetes is a condition in which the body has trouble controlling blood sugar, also called blood glucose. Normally, a hormone called insulin helps sugar move from the blood into cells for energy. In diabetes, the body either does not make enough insulin or cannot use it well. Over time, high blood sugar can affect many parts of the body.
Common signs include feeling very thirsty, needing to urinate often, feeling tired, blurry vision, and slow-healing sores. There are different types. Type 1 diabetes happens when the body’s immune system stops insulin production. Type 2 diabetes, the most common form, develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin over time. Family history, weight, activity level, and age can all play a role in type 2.
