Diabetes
Many people that are diagnosed with the disease do not even understand what diabetes is, why people get it, or even how to treat it. Living with diabetes means; being educated on what the disease is, knowing the different kinds of diabetes, and treating it properly with medication, diet, and exercise.
To fully understand diabetes you must first understand what happens when your body digests food. ... Diabetes results when the body responds to insulin the wrong way or when it is not making insulin the right way.
There are three major types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is when the body makes little or no insulin. In Type 2 diabetes the pancreas does not make enough insulin for glucose levels to stay normal.
