Diabetes is a chronic disease which, for the most part is caused by personal lifestyle choices. Improper diet and lack of physical exercise are the two most common lifestyle components that lead to diabetes. Obesity is closely related to both of these personal lifestyle choices, and is a risk factor for diabetes.
There are at least three common types of diabetes:
Type 1 Diabetes, also called Juvenile or Insulin dependent diabetes, occurs when the pancreas does not make sufficient insulin.
Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form and traditionally occurred only in adulthood. With the obesity epidemic, this form of diabetes is more and more prevalent even in children.
Gestational diabetes is diagnosed when it occurs during pregnancy, although some people with gestational diabetes are really Type 2 diabetics who were never evaluated by a health-care provider.
Type 1 diabetes does not appear to be linked to personal lifestyle choices. On the other hand, both Type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes are convincingly linked to poor dietary choices, inadequate exercise and obesity.
