Introduction
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, a time when we come together to raise awareness about this chronic condition that affects millions of lives worldwide.

Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes is a complex condition that impacts the body's ability to regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels.
There are two primary types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2.
Type 1 Diabetes: This autoimmune condition occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. People with Type 1 diabetes need daily insulin injections or the use of an insulin pump to survive.
Type 2 Diabetes: The most common form of diabetes, Type 2, is characterized by insulin resistance, where the body's cells don't respond effectively to insulin. It is often associated with lifestyle factors such as poor diet and lack of physical activity.
Diabetes affects people of all ages and backgrounds. If left unmanaged, it can lead to serious complications, including heart disease, kidney problems, vision loss, and nerve damage. However, with proper management, people with diabetes can lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
