What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease that causes your body to have trouble making or using insulin. Insulin is a hormone (a chemical your body makes) that helps your body turn the sugar you eat (also called glucose) into energy. When your body doesn’t use insulin the way it should, too much sugar stays in your blood. Your kidneys are full of tiny blood vessels (glomeruli) that help to clean your blood. Too much sugar in your blood can hurt these blood vessels. When your kidneys are damaged by having high blood sugar, you have diabetic kidney disease (also called diabetic nephropathy).

There are two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 diabetes, which used to be called juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune disease that causes your body to make either no or very little insulin because the body attacks specific cells in the pancreas that make it. Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented but can be treated by injecting insulin into the body.
In type 2 diabetes, the body does not recognize or respond to the insulin it makes. Type 2 diabetes is caused by a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors. Obesity and overweight are the leading causes of type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is more

Here are some of the signs and symptoms of diabetes;

• Increased thirst
• Increased hunger
• Urinating more than normal
• Blurry vision
• Crankiness or being easily irritated
• Extreme tiredness
• Unexplained weight loss (symptom of type 1 diabetes)
• Tingling, pain or feeling numb in the hands and feet (symptom of type 2)
