Diabetes is a disease that affects your body's ability to control blood glucose levels. It's an autoimmune disorder that leads to high blood sugar levels and can cause serious health problems if not managed correctly.

There are different types of diabetes, but all types involve high blood sugar levels. The three main types of diabetes are type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder that causes the body to attack its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas (the organ behind the stomach). When this happens, there's no longer enough insulin available for your body to use for its daily needs such as muscle movement, brain function and maintaining normal blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes can be diagnosed at any age but usually develops before age 30. 

Type 2 diabetes is also known as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). It happens when the body becomes resistant to insulin after years of high-blood glucose levels due to poor diet or physical inactivity. This type is more common than type 1 and is often associated with obesity as well as other health conditions such as heart disease or stroke risk factors like hypertension (high blood pressure).                                                    Diabetes is a condition that affects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. Diabetes is a common disease that can affect anyone, but it can be especially dangerous for people with prediabetes, or Type 2 diabetes, who have not yet been diagnosed with the condition.

There are two forms of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. In Type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce any insulin and therefore cannot use it to process glucose from food. In Type 2 diabetes, the body doesn't produce enough insulin to process glucose from food.

There are many possible causes for both types of diabetes — genetics, diet, lifestyle and environmental factors are just some of them — but there are also some risk factors that put you at greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes than others:

• Age - Type 2 diabetes is more common in adults with age as their greatest risk factor. While children may develop type 2 diabetes due to obesity or poor nutrition, they are less likely than adults to have undiagnosed prediabetes or impaired glucose tolerance at diagnosis."
