Type 1 Diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes is also called Juvenile Diabetes, Insulin dependent diabetes or Autoimmune

diabetes.This is most common type of diabetes affecting nearly 80% of all cases of diabetes. It is
usually seen in adults. There are two mechanisms of type 2 diabetes. Either there is deficiency of
insulin, or there is increase resistance of insulin. Insulin resistance means that body is unable to
use available insulin.The main cause of this type of diabetes is genetic however other factors like
overweight, obesity, high blood pressure, lack of exercise, overeating habits may also affect.About

Some women who develop diabetes during later stages of pregnancy is called as Gestational
diabetes. Though their glucose levels returns to normal but even then they have greater chances
of developing diabetes mellitus within next 5 to 10 years. Women with gestational diabetes may
have no symptoms at all. The cause of gestational diabetes is hormonal imbalance during
