Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes, is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. This article provides an in-depth exploration of the types, causes, symptoms, and complications of diabetes, with a particular focus on its management strategies. The role of diet, physical activity, medication, and emerging technologies in controlling diabetes is emphasized. Additionally, the article highlights the importance of early diagnosis and preventive measures to mitigate the growing global burden of the disease.
