WHAT IS DIABETES
A disease we can manage
Diabetes is a condition that affects the way the body uses glucose, the primary fuel for our cells. When blood sugar levels are not properly controlled, it can cause long-term complications in organs such as the heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves.
Managing diabetes involves a balanced diet, regular exercise, glucose monitoring and medical treatment where necessary. With early diagnosis and consistent follow-up, people with diabetes can lead an active and fulfilling life.
