At KCP Care, we understand the challenges of living with diabetes. With approximately 4.3 million people in the UK diagnosed and an additional 850,000 undiagnosed, diabetes can significantly impact your well-being, ranging from mild symptoms to severe complications.

Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes is a common long-term condition that affects how your body produces and uses insulin. Without effective management, diabetes can lead to serious health complications, including heart disease, kidney problems, vision loss, nerve damage, and stroke. It can affect individuals of any age, ethnicity, or gender.

How Diabetes Affects Your Body

When you eat, food is broken down into glucose, which enters your bloodstream, causing blood sugar levels to rise. Insulin, produced by the pancreas, helps glucose enter cells to provide energy. In diabetes, either the body doesn’t produce enough insulin or doesn’t use it effectively, resulting in high blood sugar levels that can lead to health issues if not managed properly.
