Why Choose Us

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a condition where your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it properly. Insulin is the hormone that helps move glucose (sugar) from your blood into your cells to be used as energy. Without enough insulin, sugar stays in the blood, leading to high blood sugar levels. Over time, this can cause serious health problems if not managed well.

There are three main types of diabetes:

Type 1 Diabetes

The body doesn’t make any insulin. This usually starts in childhood or young adulthood and needs daily insulin injections.

Type 2 Diabetes

The most common form, where the body doesn’t use insulin well. It can often be managed with lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes insulin.

Gestational Diabetes

This occurs during pregnancy and usually goes away after the baby is born but can increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.

No matter the type, diabetes requires careful management, and our team is here to support you every step of the way.
