Good morning and Happy sunday to you all
My Topic today is Diabetes and its effect on our Quality of Life
Here’s a comprehensive and easy-to-understand guide about diabetes—what it is, what causes it, how it can be prevented or reversed, and what foods are good or bad for diabetic people.
✅ What is Diabetes? (In Simple Words)
Diabetes is a health condition where the sugar (glucose) level in your blood is too high.
Your body uses a hormone called insulin (made by the pancreas) to help move sugar from your blood into your cells for energy. If your body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use insulin properly, sugar builds up in the blood. That’s diabetes.
There are two main types:
• Type 1 Diabetes: Your body stops making insulin. Usually happens in children or young adults. Lifelong condition.
• Type 2 Diabetes: Your body doesn’t use insulin well. Usually happens in adults, often due to poor lifestyle, but can be reversed in many cases
What is Pre-Diabetes?
Pre-diabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal, but not high enough to be called diabetes yet.
👉 Think of it as a warning sign. If you don’t make changes, it can lead to type 2 diabetes.
👉 The good news: You can reverse pre-diabetes with the right diet, exercise, and lifestyle.

🔄 Can Diabetes Be Reversed?
