Diabetes – An overview 

Diabetes is a disease where your blood glucose (or sugar) levels are too high. Glucose is the main source of energy, and it comes from what you eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas helps to get glucose into your cells for energy production. Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough or any insulin; in this case glucose may stay in the blood instead of going into cells for use as energy- leading to diabetes.

What are the different types of diabetes? 

• Type 1 Diabetes 
• Type 2 Diabetes 
• Gestational Diabetes 

Treating Diabetes 

Diabetes treatment is usually threefold. A healthy diet, a regular exercise plan, and medication are all typically used together. With type 1 diabetes, the medication is in the form of insulin shots while type 2 diabetes sufferers typically take oral medication. People who suffer from diabetes need to watch their blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglycerides using home testing on a regular basis.
