This document discusses the different types of diabetes. It explains that diabetes is a chronic disease where blood sugar levels are high. The two main types are type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 occurs when the body does not produce insulin and daily insulin injections are needed. Type 2 occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells do not respond properly to insulin. The document also discusses hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, which are high and low blood sugar, their symptoms, and how to treat each condition. It concludes by mentioning an A1c test is used to monitor blood sugar levels over time.
