    Chapter 1: What is diabetes?

    Diabetes, medically known as diabetes mellitus, is a persistent condition marked by elevated levels of glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream. This occurs when the body encounters difficulties in processing glucose due to issues with insulin production, insulin utilization, or both. Insulin, a hormone manufactured by the pancreas, plays a pivotal role in regulating blood sugar levels by facilitating the transportation of glucose from the blood to the body's cells, where it serves as an energy source.

    There exist distinct types of diabetes:

    1. Type 1 Diabetes:

    - An autoimmune disease where the immune system targets and annihilates insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

    - Individuals with type 1 diabetes rely on daily insulin injections or insulin pumps for survival.

    2. Type 2 Diabetes:

    - The most prevalent form characterized by insulin resistance, where the body's cells exhibit improper responses to insulin.

    - Strongly associated with factors such as obesity, physical inactivity, and genetic predisposition.

    3. Gestational Diabetes:

    - Develops during pregnancy in women without a prior history of diabetes.

    - Caused by hormonal changes leading to reduced insulin sensitivity.

    - Typically resolves after pregnancy but increases the risk of type 2 diabetes later in life.
