Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body's ability to metabolize glucose is impaired or lost. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which cells in the pancreas that make insulin are destroyed. People with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin.
Type 2 diabetes is when the body cannot produce enough insulin, or the insulin is defective. Some people can control Type 2 diabetes with diet and exercise. Others may need insulin. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy when the mother's body is unable to handle the increased insulin demands. Gestational diabetes ends when the baby is born, but places women who have had it at higher risk for diabetes later in life.
As diabetes becomes more widespread in American, the need to understand it grows. Knowledge is the key to successfully coping with the disease.
