Diabetes Management Program

Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). There are two main types of diabetes:

• Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
• Type 2 Diabetes: A condition where the body either resists the effects of insulin or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels.

Managing diabetes effectively requires a combination of medical treatment, lifestyle changes, and continuous education. Our Healthcare Program offers a comprehensive Diabetes Management Program to help you live a healthy, balanced life.
