What Is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a long-term condition in which blood glucose (sugar) stays high because the body either does not make enough Insulin or cannot use it properly. Over time, high sugar can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels, which is why early and steady control matters.

Type 1 Diabetes: an autoimmune condition where the pancreas stops making Insulin. It often starts in childhood or young adulthood and always needs Insulin.
Type 2 Diabetes: the most common type, linked with Insulin Resistance, family history, abdominal weight and inactivity.
Gestational Diabetes: high sugar first found during pregnancy, which needs close monitoring for the health of mother and baby.
Prediabetes: sugar levels above normal but below the Diabetes range, a stage where lifestyle changes can prevent progression.

Common Symptoms of Diabetes

Excessive thirst and frequent urination
Unexplained weight loss or constant tiredness
Blurred vision
Slow-healing wounds and repeated skin, gum or urine infections
Tingling or numbness in the feet

Many people with Type 2 Diabetes have no symptoms for years, so regular screening is important if you have a family history, extra weight or high blood pressure.

Tests for Diabetes

Fasting and post-meal blood sugar
HbA1c, which reflects average sugar over about three months
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), especially in pregnancy
Kidney tests (creatinine and urine albumin), lipid profile and liver tests
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) to see sugar patterns through the day and night

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good HbA1c level?

For most adults with Diabetes the target is below 7%, but targets are individualised. An HbA1c below 5.7% is normal, and 5.7–6.4% suggests Prediabetes.

Can Type 2 Diabetes go into remission?

Some people, especially early after diagnosis, can bring their sugar back to the normal range with significant weight loss and lifestyle change. Regular follow-up is still needed.

Will I need Insulin for life?

People with Type 1 Diabetes always need Insulin. In Type 2 Diabetes, Insulin may be needed long-term, short-term, or not at all, depending on how the condition progresses.
