Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. ... Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy.

Most common types;
Type 1. diabetes
A chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin.

Type 2 . diabetes
A chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose).

Prediabetes
A condition in which blood sugar is high, but not high enough to be type 2 diabetes.

Gestational diabetes
A form of high blood sugar affecting pregnant women.

Type 1 diabetes occurs when your immune system, the body's system for fighting infection, attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. Scientists think type 1 diabetes is caused by genes and environmental factors, such as viruses, that might trigger the disease.

Type 2 diabetes has several causes: genetics and lifestyle are the most important ones. A combination of these factors can cause insulin resistance, when your body doesn't use insulin as well as it should. Insulin resistance is the most common cause of type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can be hereditary.
