DIABETES::: Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood. A person can also have prediabetes. This means that your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. Having prediabetes puts a person at a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes. Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause  serious problems. Complication : It can damage eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb.  Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced. There are three main types of diabetes mellitus. Type 1 DM results from the pancreas's failure to produce enough insulin.This form was previously referred to as "insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" (IDDM) or "juvenile diabetes".The cause is unknown. Type 2 DM begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly.As the disease progresses a lack of insulin may also develop.This form was previously referred to as "non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" (NIDDM) or "adult-onset diabetes".The most common cause is excessive body weight and insufficient exercise. Gestational diabetes :: DIABETES. Early diagnosis and treatment is necessary.
