Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels due to either insufficient production of insulin (Type 1 diabetes) or the body's ineffective use of insulin (Type 2 diabetes). Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, helps regulate blood sugar levels and facilitates the uptake of glucose into cells for energy.
