2.  Diabetes is the condition in which the body does not
properly process food for use as energy.
 Most of the food we eat is turned into
glucose, sugar, for our bodies to use for
energy.
 The pancreas, an organ that lies near the
stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to
help glucose get into the cells of our bodies.
 On the other hand, when you have diabetes,
your body either doesn't make enough insulin
or can't use its own insulin as well as it should.
 This causes sugar to build up in your blood; this
is how diabetes got its popular name called
“sugar.”
 Diabetes causes blood glucose (sugar) levels to rise
higher than normal. This is also called
hyperglycaemia.

4.  Type 1 diabetes is usually
diagnosed in children and young
adults, and was previously known
as juvenile diabetes.
 Only 5% of people with diabetes
have this form of the disease.
 In type 1 diabetes, the body does
not produce insulin.
 Insulin is a hormone that is needed
to convert sugar, starches and
other food into energy needed for
daily life.

5.  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.

6.  Pregnant women who are not diabetic but
have high blood glucose (sugar) levels
during pregnancy are said to have
gestational diabetes.
 Due to the fact that the placenta supports
the baby as it grows, hormones from the
placenta help the baby develop. However,
these hormones also block the action of
the mother's insulin in her body.
 This problem is called insulin resistance as
it makes it hard for the mother's body to use
insulin and may need up to three times as
much insulin.
 Without enough insulin, glucose cannot
leave the blood and be changed to
energy.

7.  In type 1 diabetes, the cause of this isn't
entirely clear but it may include genetic risk
factors and environmental factors.
 One theory is that type 1 diabetes may occur
after having a specific virus.
 For Type 2, genetics and lifestyle clearly
play roles. Type 2 diabetes has been linked to
obesity, genetic risk factors, and inactivity.
 Some racial and ethnic groups are at higher
risk for type 2 diabetes. These include
American Indians, African Americans,
Hispanics/Latinos, Asian Americans and
Pacific Islanders

9.  Type 1 diabetes
 Insulin injections are required.
Insulin cannot be taken as a pill. The
insulin would be broken down
during digestion just like the protein
in food. Insulin must be injected
into the fat under your skin for it to
get into your blood.
In addition to insulin, Type 1 diabetes
management also includes healthy
eating and regular activity.

10.  Type 2 diabetes:
 When the body is unable to use
the insulin properly it is referred to
as insulin resistance.
 Your role in managing insulin
resistance is eating properly,
being active and maintaining a
healthy body weight.
 Pills are also commonly used to
help control blood sugar. Over
time, insulin may be added to
your treatment plan

12.  Although it's not clear why, whole grains
may reduce your risk of diabetes and help
maintain blood sugar levels. Try to make at
least half your grains whole grains.
Type 1
The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is not yet
known, but we do know that it is not
caused by poor diet and lack of activity.
At this stage, nothing can be done to
prevent or cure type 1 diabetes.
 Medication to help prevent diabetes-
Some medication, such as metformin, has
been shown to lower the risk of type 2
diabetes amongst particularly high-risk
cases where lifestyles interventions alone
may not be enough.
 Choose good fats instead of bad fats.

 Diabetes affected 17.9% of population, 15
years and older, with 90% Type 2 and 10%
Type 1. Approximately 327,000 persons in
(2001) were affected with this disease while
50% is at risk for developing diabetes.
 Persons that are overweight, have limited
physical activity, have poor eating habits,
or have a genetic predisposition may be at
risk for type 2 diabetes.
