November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the amount of sugar in the blood is higher than normal and the sugar cannot get into the body’s cells to be used properly for energy.
The three types of diabetes include Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. With Type 1 diabetes, the body no longer makes enough insulin — the key that unlocks the door to the cell and let’s sugar into the cell. In a person with Type 2 diabetes, the body’s cells become resistant to insulin. Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy.
