I need clear, evidence-based answers to a series of questions on diabetes management, complications, and lifestyle adaptation. The queries are already compiled; your task is to craft concise, plain-language explanations that align with current ADA guidelines and peer-reviewed sources such as UpToDate or PubMed. Deliverables: • A document (Word or Google Doc) containing each question followed by a 200-300-word answer. • Inline citations or footnotes pointing to recent (2022-2024) clinical references. • A brief reference list at the end. Acceptance criteria: answers must be medically accurate, easy for an educated layperson to understand, and free of jargon unless defined.
