Just diagnosed, or supporting someone who was? This is the clearest 6-minute explanation of what diabetes actually is — no jargon, no judgment.

In this first episode of Living Diabetes, we break down:

• What glucose and insulin really do (the "key and lock" of your cells)

• What goes wrong in diabetes and why high blood sugar matters over time

• The difference between Type 1, Type 2, gestational, LADA and MODY

• The 4 early warning signs to watch for — the "four T's"

• Why diabetes is manageable, and you're not alone
