Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that occurs when the body is unable to produce or effectively use insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.

While occasional blood sugar fluctuations are common, people with diabetes often experience persistent symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing wounds.

If left unmanaged, diabetes can become overwhelming—affecting daily life, increasing the risk of serious health complications, and requiring ongoing medical attention and lifestyle adjustments.

• 🔁 Your blood sugar levels are often too high or too low, even with medication.

• ⚠️ You experience new or worsening symptoms, like blurred vision, numbness, or fatigue.

• 🧠 You feel overwhelmed, stressed, or emotionally drained from managing diabetes.

• 🍽️ You need guidance on diet, lifestyle, or exercise plans specific to diabetes.
