What is DIABETES? 

Diabetes is a condition that affects blood sugar levels and causes many serious health problems if left untreated or UNCONTROLLED.

There are three type of Diabetes;

1️⃣TYPE 1 DIABETES 

2️⃣TYPE 2 DIABETES 

3️⃣GESTATIONAL DIABETES

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that often develops during childhood. Its an autoimmune disease that develops when the body destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. This means that people with type 1 diabetes do not make insulin. Without insulin, the body cannot regulate the amount of glucose in the blood.

People with type 2 diabetes develop a decreased sensitivity to insulin, which means the body does not make or use as much insulin as it needs. It is the more common of the two main types.

Insulin injections are the most common treatment for type 1 diabetes. People can self-administer these injections at home.

Type 2 diabetes is much more widespread than type 1 diabetes, it also means that a person with type 2 diabetes can make relatively simple lifestyle and dietary adjustments to bring their blood sugar levels back into the normal range.

Currently, it is easier for a person to reverse type 2 diabetes than type 1. This is because type 2 diabetes is not an autoimmune disease and a range of outside forces and lifestyle habits can make it worse.

Dietary intake and obesity both play a critical role in the development of type 2 diabetes. As such, people can reverse the symptoms of type 2 diabetes by adhering to specific lifestyle changes that include improving their diet and exercise regimen.

People with type 2 diabetes do not often need to take additional insulin. As insulin sensitivity, as opposed to insulin production, is the main issue for people with type 2, medication focusses on reducing blood sugar and improving absorption.

GESTATIONAL DIABETES 

Gestational diabetes is a type that develops during pregnancy and resolves after the birth of the child.

Many diabetes medications adversely interact with a developing fetus, so speak to a doctor about pregnancy-safe alternatives for reducing blood sugar and boosting insulin.

The doctor may prescribe insulin to control blood sugar levels.
