diabaetik

Diabaetik is a term that appears to be a misspelling or a less common transliteration. The standard and widely recognized term in medical and scientific contexts is "diabetic," referring to conditions related to diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose, also known as hyperglycemia. This occurs because the pancreas either does not produce enough insulin or the body's cells do not respond effectively to the insulin produced. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar.

There are several types of diabetes mellitus. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes, the most common form, develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels. Gestational diabetes is a temporary condition that occurs during pregnancy.

Symptoms of diabetes can include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, increased hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing sores. If left unmanaged, diabetes can lead to serious complications affecting the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diagnosis is typically made through blood tests measuring glucose levels. Management often involves lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, medication, and regular monitoring of blood sugar.
