Only 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease.
In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. The body breaks down the sugars and starches you eat into a simple sugar called glucose, which it uses for energy. Insulin is a hormone that the body needs to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, even young children can learn to manage their condition and live long, healthy lives.

This is also called hyperglycemia. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes.

If you have type 2 diabetes your body does not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance. At first, your pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it. But, over time it isn't able to keep up and can't make enough insulin to keep your blood glucose at normal levels.]]> 2017-11-03 20:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/abdowdle2013/x78ytiludctu/wish/203475704 abdowdle2013 https://padlet.com/abdowdle2013/x78ytiludctu/wish/203475931 Some people with type 2 diabetes can manage their diabetes with healthy eating, exercise, and insulin.
