Like I say, knowledge is health and also knowledge is power. It will be so interesting to know the types of diabetes mellitus after knowing what diabetes mellitus is. We basically have 4 types of diabetes mellitus which includes;
1. Type 1 diabetes: this type of diabetes is cause when the pancreas is unable to produce insulin or when the pancreas is not producing sufficient insulin. This could be cause by the disease or condition affecting the pancreas cells making it unable to carry out it's function.
2. Type 2 diabetes: this type of diabetes ocours when your body system fails to utilize the insulin produced by pancreas. It can also be due to the high demand by the body.
3. Gestational Diabetes: This kind of diabetes is only found in pregnant woman. It's sometimes referred to pregnancy induced diabetes. This type of diabetes resolve on its own after the pregnancy is gone. But in cases where it fails to go after the pregnancy, a health personnel should be informed.
4. Pre-diabetes: this type of diabetes is like a warning sign. It's actually not diabetes but it's signally you that your sugar level is becoming high. It ocours before the actual diagnoses of diabetes be it type 1, type 2 or gestational Diabetes.
