About Class
Living with diabetes can be a challenging and overwhelming experience. This chronic condition disrupts the body’s ability to properly process blood sugar, which can lead to serious health complications. It’s important to understand the three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes, and to know that each type requires a unique approach to treatment and management. For individuals with type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, making it essential to monitor blood sugar levels and administer insulin as needed.
Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, is characterized by insulin resistance, which can be managed through lifestyle changes and medications. Gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy, can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Recognizing the symptoms of diabetes, like increased thirst and urination, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow wound healing, is crucial for early detection and treatment. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, and blindness. Remember, you are not alone in your journey with diabetes, and seeking medical attention and support from loved ones can make all the difference.
All Sessions are held in US-Pacific Standard Time.
