Diabetes, a chronic disease caused by high blood sugar, is rising among young people, especially Type 2, which is linked to poor diet and inactivity. Uncontrolled diabetes can damage small blood vessels, leading to complications like blindness. Managing it involves eating fresh, home-cooked meals, staying active, and incorporating vegetables and fruits into your diet.
