What is Diabetes?
Types of
Diabetes
There are three main kinds of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and
gestational diabetes. The result of type 1 and type 2 diabetes is
the same: glucose builds up in the blood, while the cells are
starved of energy. Over the years, high blood glucose damages
nerves and blood vessels, oftentimes leading to complications such
as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, nerve
problems, gum infections, and amputation.
