Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body's inability to produce or effectively use insulin. This can lead to serious health complications if not managed properly. Proper management involves monitoring blood sugar levels, adhering to a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and medication as prescribed by healthcare providers.
