Blood glucose comes from the food you consume, as well as the primary energy source. Insulin is a hormone that helps the cells gets through the glucose to give them energy. High blood glucose levels eventually cause harm in several parts of your body if not managed. Below we will discuss diabetes and its signs, causes, Types of diabetes, Treatment process.

What are the Types of Diabetes?

There are three main types of diabetes – Type 1, Type 2 and Gestational.

Type 1 Diabetes: 

Type 1 Diabetes occurs when insulin is not released by the body. patients with type I diabetes are insulin-dependent, means they have to take artificial insulin every day to stay alive. Formerly, type 1 diabetes was also known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), or juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus. For survival, the patient with type 1 diabetes has to rely on insulin medication.

If you have type 1 diabetes, you’ll need to make changes including:

Time to Time taking insulin and other medications as required

Careful Diet planning

Type 2 Diabetes: 

Type 2 diabetes is more common in adults and accounts for around 90% of all diabetes cases.In this type of diabetes your body doesn’t use insulin properly. Although the body still produces insulin, the cells in the body don't respond to it as efficiently as they once did, unlike in type 1. Type 2 diabetes is often milder than type 1. But it can still cause major health complications, especially in the tiny blood vessels in your kidneys, nerves, and eyes. Type 2 also raises your risk of heart disease and stroke.

Gestational Diabetes:

Gestational diabetes is due to insulin-blocking hormones produced during pregnancy. This type of diabetes only occurs during pregnancy. Doctors report gestational diabetes in 2% to 10% of pregnancies. It usually goes away after birth. But up to 10% of women who have gestational diabetes get type 2, weeks or even years later.
