 WHAT IS DIABETES?

• Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose levels are

above normal. Most of the food we eat is turned into
glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy.
• The pancreas, makes a hormone called insulin to help
glucose get into the cells of our bodies.
• When you have diabetes, your body either doesn’t make
enough insulin or can’t use its own insulin as well as it
should. This causes sugar to build up in your blood.

• Numbness or tingling in the feet or hands
• Sores that do not heal
• Unexplained weight loss

of the body is fighting the infection and start
attacking and destroying the insulin which produces
beta cells of the pancreas.
Type 2, diabetes is the very common diabetes which
is caused by varies factors which include lifestyle
factors and genes. Gestational diabetes takes place
during the pregnancy which is caused by the
hormonal changes of pregnancy along with genetic
