What are the different types of diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. The body makes little or no insulin, and the patient requires daily injections of insulin to survive. If this form of diabetes is not managed carefully and on a daily basis, it can be fatal.
Type 2 diabetes is much more common than type 1. 90% or more diabetes cases are Type 2. The onset usually occurs in adulthood. In Type 2, the pancreas does not make enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal, often because the body does not respond well to the insulin. Glucose will remain in the blood instead of going into the cells. This means the cells may be starving for energy
High blood glucose levels can cause damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart
Many people with type 2 diabetes do not know they have it, but it is a serious condition that needs to be treated. The increasing levels of obesity and the lack of exercise in America, as well as the growing number of older people, have all contributed to rising instances of Type 2 diabetes.
Gestational diabetes is high blood glucose that develops at any time during pregnancy in a person who does not have diabetes. Women who get gestational diabetes during pregnancy are more likely to get Type 2 diabetes later in life.

Pre-Diabetes is a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. There are 54 million Americans who have pre-diabetes, in addition to the 20.8 million with diabetes.
