Diabetes

Wounds may take longer to heal in people with diabetes. This slow healing can increase a person’s risk of infection and other complications.

The pancreas is the organ that produces insulin, and it plays a major role in regulating blood glucose levels.

Diabetes is a complex condition with many types and no clear cause. If a person has a family history of diabetes, they may be at a higher risk of developing the condition.

A person with borderline diabetes, also known as prediabetes, has blood sugar levels that are higher than they should be but not yet high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes limits the body’s ability to control the amount of glucose, or sugar, in the blood. Keeping an eye out for the early symptoms can help ensure a timely diagnosis and prevent complications.
