Understanding Diabetes:

Diabetes is a disease that results in a rise in your blood glucose levels. The body attains glucose from the food you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get in your cells and provide them energy. There are mainly two types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. Another type is gestational diabetes that develops during pregnancy.  In Type 1 diabetes the beta cells of the pancreas are attacked and destroyed by the immune system. Type 2 cases, the more common among the two, caters for about 90% of the diabetic cases of the world. Type 2 occurs due to the body cells inability to respond to insulin.
