About the service FHWC Primary Care :

Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body struggles to regulate blood sugar, either because it doesn’t produce enough insulin or because it can’t use insulin properly. This leads to elevated blood sugar levels, which over time can damage organs and tissues, potentially causing complications like heart disease, vision loss, and nerve damage. There are two primary types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It typically appears in childhood or adolescence and requires lifelong insulin therapy. Type 2 diabetes, more common in adults, occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough. It is often linked to lifestyle factors like obesity and can be prevented or managed through diet, exercise, and medication.
