This disease affects how the body is with sugar or also known as glucose. There is two different types of Diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is when the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin producing cells in the pancreas which leads to complete lack of insulin production. Type 2 is when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin to meet its needs.

For Type 1 diabetes, there is not enough sugar within the blood while for Type 2 diabetes there is too much sugar inside the blood. For Type 2, when that happens there is too much build of glucose occurring which results in high blood sugar.

Sometimes someone with diabetes can experience extreme hunger. Our cells in our body need sugar for energy. When the sugar is trapped within the bloodstream then they are not giving the energy the other cells need to work properly. Cells are always starving so sugar is used a fuel to keep them doing their job. So when someone is not getting enough sugar to fuel the cells, it alerts the brain saying they are starving and need fuel.

Diabetes can cause weight gain and/or weight loss. For Type 1 diabetes, it is weight lost. Since the body is not producing the right amount sugar needed this causes the body to starve and begins to break down. The body starts to loss fat and muscle. As for Type 2 diabetes, it is weight gain. Since the body is producing way more sugar then that causes a slow metabolism and lots of cravings that can turn into overeating.

Slow healing can relate to high blood sugar levels. High blood sugar can damage blood vessels, weaken the immune system, nerve damage, and the ability to repair tissue within the blood. For diabetes patients, they have a harder time to recover.

Nerve can become damaged as previous said before happens when high blood sugar affects the blood vessels and nerve fibers which can lead to pain, numbness, and dysfunction in many body systems.

Foot damage can also be a long term consequence because of the damage being dealt from the damage of nerves and blood vessels.

Gum disease can be great risk when it comes to diabetes because of the weak immue defenses within the blood that causes reduction of blood flow and feeding the harmful bacteria with more sugar inside the saliva.
