Diabetes is a metabolic condition in which the body is unable to regulate blood glucose levels effectively. This happens due to insufficient insulin production or insulin resistance.

• High blood sugar can damage vital organs
• The heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves may be affected
• Long-term control is possible with proper nutrition

Sugar is a food component, whereas diabetes is a metabolic disorder.

• Sugar is found in sweets, desserts, and sugary drinks
• Blood sugar (glucose) is produced from carbohydrates
• Insulin helps glucose enter the body’s cells

When insulin does not function properly, glucose builds up in the blood — leading to diabetes.
