– Why is World Diabetes Day important?
November 14 is World Diabetes Day, a day to raise awareness of diabetes and its impact on people around the world. Diabetes is a serious disease that can lead to serious health complications if not treated. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is a life-long autoimmune disease that prevents your pancreas from making insulin. Insulin injections and blood sugar monitoring are required for daily management. Type 1 diabetes can be diagnosed in both children and adults.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes. The way the body regulates and uses sugar (glucose) as fuel is impaired in Type 2 diabetes. Too much sugar circulating in the bloodstream is a result of this long-term (chronic) condition. High blood sugar levels can lead to disorders of the circulatory, nervous, and immune systems eventually. There are two primary interrelated problems at work in type 2 diabetes. Cells respond poorly to insulin and take in less sugar because your pancreas does not produce enough insulin — a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells.s.
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. It affects about 2-5% of all pregnancies and can lead to serious health complications for both the mother and baby if not treated
