Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus, sometimes known as diabetes, is a metabolic disorder
characterised by high blood sugar levels. Insulin is a hormone that transports
sugar from circulation into your cells, where it is stored or utilised for
energy. If you have diabetes, your body either does not produce enough insulin
or cannot efficiently utilise the insulin that it does
produce. Diabetes symptoms are exacerbated by an increase in blood sugar. The
vast majority of persons who arrive with typical diabetes symptoms receive a
clear diagnosis. Diabetes management aims to enhance the quality of life and
productivity of diabetics.
