Understanding Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes

Diabetes and pre-diabetes occur when the body struggles to properly regulate blood glucose levels. Left unmanaged, elevated blood sugar can contribute to serious health concerns, including heart disease, nerve damage, kidney disease, vision problems, chronic inflammation, and other complications.

Pre-diabetes serves as an early warning sign that blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet in the diabetic range. Early intervention can often help prevent or delay the progression to Type 2 diabetes.
