All About
Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles There are 208 million children and adults in the United States, or 7 of the population, who have diabetes While an estimated 146 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 62 million people or nearly one-third are unaware that they have the disease
In order to determine whether or not a patient has pre-diabetes or diabetes, health care providers conduct a Fasting Plasma Glucose Test FPG or an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test OGTT Either test can be used to diagnose pr 
e-diabetes or diabetes The American Diabetes Association recommends the FPG because it is easier, faster, and less expensive to perform
Type 2 diabetes Results from insulin resistance a condition in which the body fails to properly use insulin, combined with relative insulin deficiency Most Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes
Gestational diabetes Gestational diabetes affects about 4 of all pregnant women Pre-diabetes Pre-diabetes is a condition that occurs when a persons blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes
Major Types of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes Results from the bodys failure to produce insulin, the hormone that unlocks the cells of the body, allowing glucose to enter and fuel them It is estimated that 5-10 of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes
