Types of diabetes we treat
Diabetes is a chronic condition that causes abnormally high levels of glucose in the blood. Your pancreas produces insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. When you don't produce enough insulin, the result is diabetes.
There are three types of diabetes:
- Type 1 diabetes — Although it can develop at any age, Type 1 diabetes occurs most frequently in children and adolescents. With this disease, the body produces little to no insulin. Daily insulin injections are required to keep blood glucose levels under control.
- Type 2 diabetes —Most cases of diabetes are Type 2 and are more common in adults. With this disease, the body does not properly use the insulin it produces. Most people with Type 2 diabetes require oral drugs and/or insulin to manage their blood glucose levels.
- Gestational diabetes — Diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy, gestational diabetes usually disappears after giving birth. However, it can put you and your fetus at higher risk of developing diabetes later in life.
