Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes is a long-term condition where the body struggles to regulate blood sugar levels. This happens either due to insufficient insulin production or the body’s reduced ability to use insulin effectively.
If not managed properly, it can gradually affect vital organs such as the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.
At Garg Family Clinic, we focus on early detection, proper treatment, and continuous monitoring to help patients maintain stable sugar levels and prevent complications.
Common Types of Diabetes
- Type 1 Diabetes: Occurs when the immune system damages insulin-producing cells, requiring lifelong insulin support.
- Type 2 Diabetes: The most common form, usually linked with lifestyle, where the body becomes resistant to insulin.
- Pregnancy-related Diabetes: Develops during pregnancy and needs careful medical supervision.
