Diabetes is best described as a high level of blood sugar in the body which corresponds with pancreatic failure. It is known as the silent killer and a metabolic disease. Diabetes is when your body does not produce or properly use the insulin in your body, which is a hormone that converts sugar.
There are 14 and 1/2 million people in the United States that have diabetes and 6.2 million people are unaware that they have diabetes, that’s why monitoring and treatment should be taken seriously and should be undertaken on a regular basis.
There are three different types of diabetes type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes.
- Type 1 diabetes is where the bodies immune system destroys the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas, and accounts for about 10 -15% of the people.
- Type 2 diabetes is a strongly genetic in origin, but excess weight, inactivity, high blood pressure and poor diet is a major risk factor.
- Type 3 or Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is diagnosed during pregnancy by an oral glucose tolerance test.
