Diabetes is a chronic disease in which blood sugar levels become too high. There are two main types: type 1 diabetes, in which the body does not produce insulin, and type 2 diabetes, in which cells lose sensitivity to insulin or there is not enough of it.

Symptoms may include thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, impaired vision and slow wound healing. It is very important to diagnose the condition and start treatment early to avoid complications.

Lifestyle plays a key role in diabetes management: a balanced diet with carbohydrate control, regular physical activity, weight control and avoidance of bad habits. The doctor may also prescribe medication or insulin therapy.

Timely attention to health helps people with diabetes to live a full and active life.

Honestly, I have to share my uncle’s story—he was struggling with type 2 diabetes, his A1C hovering around 9 %, and nothing seemed to stick. That was discovered when he started checkups here in Dubai, following his personalised program. Once this was found out, he was sent to a specialist, took meds, observed the diet, and in just eight months, his A1C dropped to 7 %, he lost 6 kg. It was incredible to see him actually enjoy meals and feel motivated rather than restricted. Have you tried a structured program like this and noticed tangible results? I know diabetes is not easy, but taking small steps at a time really helps!
