What is diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease, involving inappropriately elevated blood glucose levels.
Diabetes is a condition that happens when your blood sugar (glucose) is too high. It develops when your pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin or any at all, or when your body isn’t responding to the effects of insulin properly.
Glucose (sugar) mainly comes from carbohydrate in your food and drinks. Your blood carries glucose to all your body’s cells to use for energy.
If your pancreas isn’t making enough insulin or your body isn’t using it properly, glucose builds up in your bloodstream, causing high blood sugar ( hyperglycemia).
What are the types of diabetes?
- Type 2 diabetes: This is the most common type of diabetes. It mainly affects adults. With this type, your body doesn’t make enough insulin or your body’s cells don’t respond normally to the insulin (insulin resistance).
- Prediabetes: This type is the stage before Type 2 diabetes. Your blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be officially diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
- Type 1 diabetes: This type is an autoimmune disease in which your immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in your pancreas for unknown reasons.It’s usually diagnosed in children and young adults, but it can develop at any age.
- Gestational diabetes: This type develops in some people during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes usually goes away after pregnancy. However, if you have gestational diabetes, you’re at a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.
