diabeteks

Diabeteks is a term that appears to be a misspelling or a non-standard term related to diabetes. The correct and widely recognized medical condition is diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels over a prolonged period. This elevation, known as hyperglycemia, occurs when the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar.

There are several main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This results in little to no insulin production. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form, where the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels. Gestational diabetes is a temporary form of diabetes that develops 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 long-term complications affecting the heart, blood vessels, nerves, eyes, and kidneys. Diagnosis is typically made through blood tests measuring glucose levels. Management involves lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise, and sometimes medication, including insulin therapy, to control blood sugar levels.
