The concept of diabetes

Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar.

Diabetes is mainly divided into type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and other special types of diabetes. Diabetes is usually a chronic progressive disease. Symptoms may not be obvious in the early stage, but as the disease progresses, typical symptoms such as polydipsia, polyuria and weight loss gradually appear. If long-term blood sugar control is not good, it will lead to a series of serious complications, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, eye disease, neuropathy, etc., which pose a serious threat to health.

Diabetes diagnosis is mainly based on blood sugar testing, including fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin and other indicators. once a patient has diabetes, it is important for diabetes patients to regularly monitor blood sugar.
