What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a health condition defined by problems producing or using insulin, a hormone that helps break down food into blood glucose. Type 1 diabetes is an inherited disease that usually starts in childhood, while type 2 diabetes, which is much more common, is seen mainly in adults. A third type, gestational diabetes, occurs in pregnant women. Depending on the type of diabetes, treatment can include insulin, medication, and changing your diet and exercise habits.
