Diabetes is a disease where the body cannot properly process glucose for energy. There are two main types of diabetes - type 1 where the pancreas produces little insulin, and more common type 2 where the body does not properly use insulin. Globally there are over 463 million people with diabetes, most living in low to middle income countries. To help manage diabetes and stay healthy, it is important to exercise regularly, maintain a sleeping schedule, eat a healthy diet, and see your doctor for regular checkups.
