Let me break it down for you:</p><p><strong>What is Diabetes?</strong></p><p>Diabetes is a metabolic disorder where the body either doesnt produce enough insulin or cant effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. If left unmanaged, high blood sugar can lead to serious health complications.</p><p>Types of Diabetes</p><p>Type 1 Diabetes</p><p>An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.<br />Usually diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood.<br />People with Type 1 diabetes need lifelong insulin therapy.</p><p>Type 2 Diabetes</p><p>The body becomes resistant to insulin, and the pancreas cant produce enough to keep blood sugar levels normal.<br />Commonly linked to obesity, poor diet, and lack of exercise.<br />Can be managed with lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes insulin.</p><p>Gestational Diabetes</p><p>Occurs during pregnancy when hormonal changes affect insulin function.<br />Usually resolves after childbirth but increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.</p><p>Prediabetes</p><p>Blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes.<br />A warning sign that diabetes could develop without lifestyle changes.</p><p>Symptoms of Diabetes</p><p>Increased thirst and frequent urination<br />Extreme fatigue<br />Blurred vision<br />Unexplained weight loss (Type 1)<br />Slow wound healing<br />Tingling or numbness in hands/feet (Type 2)</p><p>Causes & Risk Factors</p><p>Type 1: Genetic predisposition, autoimmune response, environmental triggers (like viruses).<br />Type 2: Obesity, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, family history, aging.<br />Gestational Diabetes: Hormonal changes during pregnancy.</p><p>Complications of Uncontrolled Diabetes</p><p>Heart disease and stroke<br />Kidney damage (diabetic nephropathy)<br />Eye problems (diabetic retinopathy, blindness)<br />Nerve damage (neuropathy) leading to pain, numbness, or amputation<br />Skin infections and slow wound healing</p><p>Treatment & Management</p><p>Type 1 Diabetes</p><p>Requires insulin injections or insulin pumps.<br />Monitoring blood sugar levels regularly.<br />Healthy diet and exercise to maintain blood sugar balance.</p><p>Type 2 Diabetes</p><p>Lifestyle changes: weight loss, healthy diet, regular physical activity.<br />Oral medications (like Metformin) or insulin if necessary.<br />Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels.</p><p>Gestational Diabetes</p><p>Controlled with diet, exercise, and sometimes insulin.</p><p>Prevention (for Type 2 and Prediabetes)</p><p>Maintain a healthy weight.<br />Eat a balanced diet (low sugar, high fiber, whole foods).<br />Exercise regularly.<br />Reduce stress and avoid smoking.</p>...1230009027329_JC Reardonlibro_electonico_1230009027329_1230009027329John ReardonInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/083c2c8e-a20c-4749-9ebe-6e6b78ef0d99-epub-7e161a40-d030-414d-a33f-5a1d9e20d922.epub2025-05-15T00:00:00+00:00JC Reardon
