Diabetes is a lifelong disease.  It is a metabolic disorder, in which the level of glucose in the blood of the patient's body is very high.  When, a person's body does not produce enough insulin and the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin.  As such, the production of insulin is very important for the body as it transports glucose from the blood to the cells of the body.  That is why, when insulin is not produced in the right amount, it also affects the body metabolism of the sufferer.

What is diabetes?  How many types of diabetes are there?

(Types of diabetes ) From the food we eat, the body gets glucose which the cells use to provide energy to the body.  If insulin is not present in the body, then they are not able to do their work properly and cannot deliver glucose from the blood to the cells.  Due to which glucose gets accumulated in the blood itself and excess glucose in the blood can prove to be harmful.  Diabetes is generally of 3 types-

type-1 diabetes

type-2 diabetes and

gestational diabetes, which is a condition characterized by high blood sugar during pregnancy
