Frequently Asked Questions

Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the body either cannot produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.

The main types of diabetes are Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes.

Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, extreme fatigue, blurred vision, and unexplained weight loss.

Metabolic diseases are a group of disorders that affect the body's ability to process and use energy from food, such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obesity.

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and Type 2 diabetes. These conditions include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels.

Managing diabetes involves monitoring blood sugar levels, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, taking prescribed medications, and maintaining regular check-ups with your healthcare provider.

Long-term complications can include heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, eye problems, and foot problems.

Obesity can lead to insulin resistance, which increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders.

Lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet, increasing physical activity, managing stress, and avoiding tobacco use can help manage metabolic diseases.

There is currently no cure for diabetes, but it can be managed effectively with lifestyle changes and medical treatment.

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows cells to take in glucose from the bloodstream to be used for energy.
