Diabetes—a familiar word, but its impact spreads to every corner of our lives. Millions of people in Bangladesh are affected by diabetes every year.

🧬 What is diabetes?
Diabetes or polyuria is a condition where the body cannot produce the hormone insulin properly, or the effectiveness of insulin decreases. As a result, glucose (sugar) starts accumulating in the blood and over time it damages various organs of the body.
Diabetes is mainly of two types:
1. Type 1 diabetes: Usually occurs in children and adolescents, where the body cannot produce insulin at all.
2. Type 2 diabetes: The most common, which is mainly due to age, overweight, irregular lifestyle, etc.
