Press Release Body = Finding out you have diabetes can be frightening so we thought this information would be quite valuable to those of you looking for some answers.
How many forms of diabetes is there? The answer is three:
1---Gestational--- \"Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that starts during pregnancy. If you have diabetes, your body isn\'t able to use the sugar (glucose) in your blood as well as it should, so the level of sugar in your blood becomes higher than normal.
Gestational diabetes affects about 4% of all pregnant women. It usually begins in the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy (between the 24th and 28th weeks). Most often, gestational diabetes goes away after the baby is born.\"
2---Type 1 Diabetes--- \"Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar (glucose), starches and other food into energy needed for daily life.\"
3---Type 2 Diabetes---\"Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use sugar. Sugar is the basic fuel for the cells in the body, and insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, it can cause two problems:
* Right away, your cells may be starved for energy. * Over time, high blood glucose levels may hurt your eyes, kidneys, nerves or heart.\"
Finding out you have diabetes is scary. But don\'t panic. Diabetes is serious, but people with diabetes can live long, healthy, happy lives.
