  1. DIabetes By Terrell Jones

  2. There are three types • Type 1 • Type 2 • Gestational diabetes

  3. Type 1 • Is usually diagnosed in childhood. Many patients are diagnosed when they are older than age 20. In this disease, the body makes little or no insulin. Daily injections of insulin are needed. The exact cause is unknown. Genetics, viruses, and autoimmune problems may play a role.

  4. Type 2 • This is far more common than type 1. It makes up most of diabetes cases. It usually occurs in adulthood, but young people are increasingly being diagnosed with this disease. The pancreas does not make enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal, often because the body does not respond well to insulin. Many people with type 2 diabetes do not know they have it, although it is a serious condition. Type 2 diabetes is becoming more common due to increasing obesity and failure to exercise.

  5. Factors of type 2 • Age over 45 years • A parent, brother, or sister with diabetes • Gestational diabetes or delivering a baby weighing more than 9 pounds • Heart disease • High blood cholesterol level • Obesity • Not getting enough exercise • Polycystic ovary disease (in women)

  6. Gestational diabetes • Is high blood glucose that develops at any time during pregnancy in a woman who does not have diabetes. Women who have gestational diabetes are at high risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease later in life.

  7. Symptoms of diabetes • Fatigue • Increased thirst • Increased urination • Nausea • Vomiting • Blurred vision Diabetes affects more than 20 million Americans. Over 40 million Americans have pre-diabetes (early type 2 diabetes).
