๐ Hey everyone! Did you know that November is Diabetes Awareness Month? ๐ฉธ It's a time to shine a light on a condition that affects millions of people around the world. In fact, over 537 million adults are living with diabetes! ๐ฒ
There are mainly three types of diabetes:
1. **Type 1 Diabetes**: This is an autoimmune condition where the body doesnโt produce insulin. It usually develops in children and young adults, but it can happen at any age.
2. **Type 2 Diabetes**: The most common form, Type 2 occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesnโt produce enough. Itโs often linked to lifestyle factors and can be managed with diet, exercise, and medication.
3. **Gestational Diabetes**: This type occurs during pregnancy and usually goes away after giving birth, but it can increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later on.
Understanding diabetes is crucial for prevention and management. Letโs spread awareness and support each other! ๐ If you want to learn more about diabetes, tips for managing it, or how to support loved ones, follow me for more info!
