Diabetes refers to a group of diseases that affect how the body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is an important source of energy for the cells that make up muscles and tissues. It is also the main source of energy for the brain.

Chronic diabetes includes both types 1 and 2 diabetes. Treatable diabetes conditions include prediabetes and gestational diabetes.

Peeling of the skin around the eye

Slow wound healing

skin sores
