Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder in which the body cannot metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins because of a lack of, or ineffective use of, the hormone insulin. Diabetes is classified into three primary types that are different disease entities but share the symptoms and complications of hyperglycemia (high blood glucose). TYPE 1 (INSULINE DEPEDENT), TYPE 2 (DIET CONTROLLED) OR GESTATIONAL (PREGNANCY INDUCED)
