What are the different types of diabetes?

Answer 1

Diabetes can be classified into four different types depending upon the cause and symptoms of diabetes.

1. Type 1 Diabetes also referred to as juvenile diabetes is the result of the body's failure to produce insulin. Sometimes referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes because insulin must be supplied to the body daily.

2. Type 2 Diabetes results from insulin resistance when the body is unable to properly use insulin combined with an insulin deficiency

3. Gestational Diabetes which affects expectant mothers, usually during later pregnancy.

4. Pre-Diabetes occurs when blood glucose levels are elevated above normal but are not

high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.

I would suggest going for Riverview Medical Center's Diabetes Management Program that has been granted national recognition from the American Diabetes Association. They also have a helpline 732-530-2555. Call them to set up your initial appointment and address any questions that you may have.
