Is diabetes a real disease?
<|assistant|>
Yes, diabetes is a real disease. It is a chronic condition that affects how the body processes blood sugar and can damage the body's organs and systems. It is caused by either a lack of insulin production or the body’s inability to use insulin properly. Symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, fatigue, and urination, as well as blurred vision and dry skin.  Diabetes can lead to complications if not managed properly, including blindness, kidney damage, stroke, and an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease.
