Definition:
Diabetes or high blood sugar is a disease that
occurs if there is disorder in certain body functions
that utilize carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the
food to produce energy. Lack of a hormone called
insulin or inadequate production of insulin by the
pancreases results in this disease. Insulin regulates
the amount of sugar in the blood

Diabetes types
Type 1

childhood or in adult under 30. beta cells are attacked by
the immune system. Overall the your pancreas does not

make insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose

get into your cells to give them energy.

 Type 2
The bodies of people with type 2 diabetes make
insulin. But either their pancreas does not make
enough insulin or the body cannot use the insulin well
enough.

 Gestational diabetes
(GDM)

Gestational diabetes is a condition characterized by high blood sugar

(glucose) levels that is first recognized during pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the placenta produces hormones to
sustain your pregnancy. These hormones make your cells
more resistant to insulin. As your placenta grows larger in
the second and third trimesters, it secretes more of these
hormones making it even harder for insulin to do its job.
Normally, your pancreas responds by producing enough extra
insulin to overcome this resistance. But sometimes your
pancreas can't keep up. When this happens, too little glucose
gets into your cells and too much stays in your blood. This is
