How Does Diabetes Happen?

Diabetes occurs when the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. This leads to elevated blood sugar levels, which can be caused by genetic factors, an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, or obesity. Over time, the persistent high blood sugar can lead to various health complications if not properly managed.
