There are several different types of diabetes but the main two are diabetes type one and type two, and both are quite different to each other. Although both involve the body’s reaction to insulin, a substance which is produced in the pancreas and is used to convert glucose from food into energy, failure to do this leads to the body’s blood sugar levels to increase which if left can lead to the diabetic falling into a diabetic coma.

Diabetes type one is different from type two as it is usually diagnosed during childhood rather than later in life and rather than the body not being able to process insulin correctly, the pancreas doesn’t actually make it. Due to this anyone who suffers from type one diabetes will have to have daily injections of insulin in order for them to be able to cope with glucose in foods.

The symptoms of diabetes type one are feeling thirsty quite a lot of the time, urinating more than normal especially during the night, losing weight for no real reason and feeling hungry even if you have recently eaten. In order to diagnose diabetes type one your doctor will test your fasting blood sugar levels to see if there is any indication of diabetes.

If you are found to have diabetes your doctor will advise you on the best course of action to keep yourself healthy. As mentioned this will involve having injections of insulin which will help to control your diabetes. You might also have to make changes in your diet so that you do not have too much carbohydrate which can contain a high amount of glucose and is not good for anyone with diabetes. However if you are diagnosed with diabetes you should take comfort in the fact that this condition can be treated and managed quite easily.
