Types of diabetes
Type 1: The immune system destroys the pancreatic cells that produce insulin. Lifelong administration of insulin is required.
Type 2: The body either does not produce enough insulin, or the cells do not respond to it (insulin resistance). It is often associated with obesity and poor nutrition.
Gestational: Develops during pregnancy and usually resolves after childbirth.
