Diabetes
Nature of Condition
Diabetes is when an individual cannot produce or produce little amounts of insulin which is a hormone produced in the pancreas. This creates glucose not converting to energy resulting in sugar building up in the blood therefore the cells won’t receive the energy they need.
Three types of diabetes:
Type 1 – Not being able to produce insulin at all requiring regular insulin injections
Type 2 – The most common type of diabetes is where the pancreas does not make enough insulin or not doing its job properly
Gestational diabetes – Develops during pregnancy as pregnant woman require more insulin then normal (usually disappears after the baby is born)
