Diabetes is a chronic condition that currently has no cure, but it can be effectively managed. Here are some key strategies:

  • Type 1 Diabetes: Requires lifelong insulin therapy, as the body does not produce insulin. Blood sugar levels must be closely monitored.
  • Type 2 Diabetes: Can often be managed with lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight loss. Medications or insulin may also be prescribed.
  • Prediabetes: Can sometimes be reversed with lifestyle changes to prevent progression to Type 2 diabetes.

While diabetes cannot be 'fixed,' proper management can help individuals live healthy lives. Always consult with a healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.
