Diabetes is a disease characterized by the impairment of the body to process blood sugar. If not monitored and managed well, diabetes can cause an excessive increase of sugar level in the blood, which increases the risk of dangerous conditions such as stroke and heart disease. There are different diabetes types and management of each diabetes type depends on its characteristics. Some forms of diabetes are caused by being overweight or by leading a sedentary lifestyle, while some others are existent from childhood.

TYPES OF DIABETES

The most encountered diabetes types are type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes.

TYPE 1 DIABETES

When the pancreas produces little or no insulin, type 1 diabetes occurs. It’s not curable at the moment, despite all the research and advances in the medicine. To prevent complications, blood sugar levels are managed with insulin, diet and changes in the lifestyle.

TYPE 2 DIABETES

In type 2 diabetes, although the body produces insulin, the cells in the body do not respond to it effectively. Type 2 diabetes is the most encountered diabetes type. According to medical research and studies, it has strong links with obesity. Type 2 diabetes may occur as resistance to insulin or failure to produce enough of it.

GESTATIONAL DIABETES

Gestational diabetes occurs when women become less sensitive to insulin during their pregnancies. This condition occurs only in some women and often resolves after they give birth.
