Diabetes is like having a car that can’t use petrol properly. In our bodies, food is the petrol, and insulin is the key allowing petrol to be used for energy. In diabetes, the body either can’t make insulin (Type 1) or can’t use it properly (Type 2), causing high blood sugar levels. Over time, high blood sugar can lead to serious complications like heart disease and vision loss. Managing blood sugar levels is crucial for people with diabetes.

Managing a chronic condition might seem overwhelming, but with the right tools and advice, it can be much easier. Here’s how you can monitor your condition:

• 1. Regular Check-ups & Blood Tests
