Diabetes is a chronic illness which is acquired genetically in most of the cases but there is a definite role of environmental factors as well. It is characterised by high blood glucose levels either due to absence of insulin production or due to resistance to insulin action.
Aim is to keep blood glucose levels in target range so as to prevent different complications like heart disease, kidney disease, nerve dysfunction, eye problems, infections etc. This is achieved through lifestyle changes and medical therapy.
