Diabetes mellitus is a condition that hinders your body from efficiently converting food into energy. It typically arises in one of two ways:

1. Insufficient Insulin Production: The pancreas—located behind your stomach—produces little to no insulin. Insulin is a vital hormone created by the beta cells in the pancreas that enables your body to utilize sugar for energy.
2. Ineffective Insulin Function: Alternatively, your pancreas may produce insulin, but it doesn’t work properly—a situation known as insulin resistance.

Each care plan is personalized and tailored specifically to you and your lifestyle. The Diabetic care plans are based on the following 5 principles:
