What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that affects your
body’s ability to produce or use insulin.
• When your body turns the food you eat into
energy (also called sugar or glucose), insulin is
released to help transport this energy to the
cells. Insulin acts as a “key.” Its chemical
message tells the cell to open and
receive glucose. If you produce little or no
insulin, or are insulin resistant, too much sugar
remains in your blood. Blood glucose levels
are higher than normal for individuals with
diabetes.
How many Type Of Diabetes?
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes
Gestational Diabetes
 Type Of Diabetes
• What is Type 1 diabetes?
When you are affected with Type 1 diabetes, your
pancreas does not produce insulin. Type 1 diabetes is also
called juvenile diabetes, since it is often diagnosed in
children or teens. This type accounts for 5-10 percent of
people with diabetes.
• What is Type 2 diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce
enough insulin, or when the cells are unable to use insulin
properly, which is called insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes
is commonly called “adult-onset diabetes” since it is
diagnosed later in life, generally after the age of 45. 90-95
percent of people with diabetes have this type. In recent
years Type 2 diabetes has been diagnosed in younger
people, including children, more frequently than in the past.
• What Is Gestational Diabetes?
Gestational diabetes is a temporary condition
that occur during pregnancy. Between three to
20 per cent of pregnant women develop
gestational diabetes, depending on their risk
faktors. Having gestational diabetes may
increase the risk of developing diabetes for
both mother and child
What causes of diabetes?
What causes diabetes?
The cause of diabetes is unknown.
Genetics, diet, obesity and lack of exercise
may play a role in developing diabetes,
especially Type 2 diabetes.

• How does diabetes affect my body?
Over time, high blood sugar levels (also called
hyperglycemia) can lead to kidney disease, heart
disease and blindness. The excess sugar in the
bloodstream can damage the tiny blood vessels in
your eyes and kidneys, and can harden or narrow
your arteries.
• What are the symptoms of diabetes?
1. Extreme thirst
2. Frequent urination
3. Blurry vision
4. Extreme hunger
5. Increased tiredness
6. Unusual weight loss
How can I find out if I have
diabetes?
 How can I find out if I have diabetes?
• Sometimes a routine exam by an eye doctor or foot
doctor will reveal diabetes. Diabetes affects the
circulation to your feet and the tiny blood vessels in
your eyes. If your eye doctor or your foot doctor
suspects you have diabetes, he will recommend you see
your regular physician for a blood sugar level test.
• The most common test is a fasting blood glucose test.
After not eating for at least eight hours, usually
overnight, your doctor will take a blood sample. The
normal, non-diabetic range for blood glucose is 70 to
110 mg/dl. If your level is over 140 mg/dl, you may
have diabetes.

• See your doctor. Your doctor will perform tests
to determine whether or not you have
diabetes. If your blood sugar level is high, but
not high enough to be considered diabetic,
this is a condition called pre-diabetes. Your
doctor will make recommendations to bring
down your blood sugar level so that you can
delay the development of Type 2 diabetes.
