Diabetes is a chronic medical condition characterized by elevated levels of blood sugar (glucose) resulting from either insufficient production of insulin by the pancreas, resistance to insulin action, or both. There are several types of diabetes, including type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and other less common forms. It can lead to various complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and cardiovascular system if not properly managed.
