Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, eyes, and nerves — leading to serious health complications if left untreated.

In the U.S., millions of adults are living with diabetes, and many more have prediabetes without even knowing it. Recognizing the signs early and getting professional medical care can make all the difference.

Common symptoms of diabetes include:

• Increased thirst and frequent urination

• Unexplained weight loss or gain

• Fatigue and low energy

• Blurred vision

• Slow-healing wounds

• Numbness or tingling in hands or feet

If you are experiencing these symptoms — or have risk factors such as obesity, family history, or high blood pressure — it’s time to get screened.

Types of Diabetes

Understanding the type of diabetes you have helps guide treatment:

• Type 1 Diabetes – An autoimmune condition where the pancreas produces little or no insulin.

• Type 2 Diabetes – The most common form, often linked to lifestyle, genetics, and insulin resistance.

• Gestational Diabetes – Occurs during pregnancy and increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later.
  

Why Professional Care Matters

Managing diabetes isn’t just about taking medication — it requires a personalized, whole-health approach that addresses diet, exercise, stress, and overall well-being. Without professional guidance, blood sugar levels can become unstable, leading to dangerous complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, and vision loss.
