What is Diabetes ?
Diabetes
Your body converts food into glucose, which enters the bloodstream. The pancreas releases insulin to help cells absorb glucose for energy. In diabetes, the body either lacks insulin or doesn’t use it properly, causing high blood sugar. Over time, this can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.
Accroding to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
0% of the US population have diabetes.
Over 0% of adults have prediabetes.
Prediabetes is when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. It indicates that the body is becoming resistant to insulin or struggling to regulate blood sugar effectively.
Type 2 Diabetes
More children, teens, and young adults are developing type 2 diabetes than in the past.
Type 2 diabetes is largely preventable with lifestyle changes like healthy eating, exercise, and weight management.
In our dataset, the participants who are in diabetic group are diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.

Glucose Metrics Distribution
This visualization shows the distribution of different glucose metrics across diabetic groups. The normal distributions are calculated using the mean and standard deviation of each group's data for glucose metrics. Compare how different metrics vary between diabetic, pre-diabetic, and non-diabetic individuals.
Instructions
Use the control panel to explore the glucose patterns of participants with different diabetic statuses. Select a participant category and adjust the time range to view the glucose levels over time. Hover over the visualization to see detailed information about each data point.
Takeaway
Diabetes is a condition where the body struggles to regulate blood glucose (sugar) levels due to problems with insulin production or function. Keeping blood glucose levels stable is crucial to preventing diabetes and maintaining good health. If you have risk factors like family history, obesity, or prediabetes, get regular blood tests. Preventing Type 2 diabetes is all about lifestyle choices. By eating well, staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress, you can significantly lower your risk.
