What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose), which is vital for energy. There are three main types:
Type 1 Diabetes
An autoimmune condition where the body produces little or no insulin.
Type 2 Diabetes
The most common form, often linked to lifestyle factors, where the body doesn’t use insulin effectively.
Gestational Diabetes
Occurs during pregnancy and typically resolves after childbirth but can increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later.
Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve damage. However, with the right care, many individuals manage diabetes effectively and live healthy lives.

My interest in the medical field was first sparked when I was in high school, by my observation of a patient-doctor relationship. Many years have passed since that interaction which took place at Alpena General Hospital in Michigan; and it is the desire to build and maintain meaningful long lasting relationships that continues to draw me to medicine.
