There isn’t a cure yet for diabetes, but losing weight, eating healthy food, and being active can really help.
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy. Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough or any insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells.
Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems. Although it has no cure yet but eating healthy food, losing weight, taking medicine when needed and keeping appointments from your nearest walkin clinic can reduce the risk factors.
Sometimes people call it “a touch of sugar” or “borderline diabetes.” These terms suggest that someone doesn’t really have it or has a less serious case, but every case of diabetes is serious.

Type 1If you have type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. Your immune system attacks and destroys the cells in your pancreas that make insulin. Type 1 is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, although it can appear at any age. People with type 1 need to take insulin every day to stay alive.
If you have type 2 diabetes, your body does not make or use insulin well. You can develop type 2 at any age, even during childhood. However, this type occurs most often in middle-aged and older people. Type 2 is the most common type.
