Type of Diabetes

There are three major types of diabetes:

  • Type 1 diabetes is known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) formerly called juvenile-onset diabetes. Usually starts in children, whereby pancreas doesn't produce insulin.

  • Type 2 diabetes is known as noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) formerly known as adult-onset diabetes. Type 2 diabetes stand at more than 90% of all diabetes cases. In this case, pancreas will produce some insulin. However, the body's tissues don't respond well to the insulin signal to metabolize glucose properly, a condition called insulin resistance.

  • Gestational diabetes is high blood glucose that diagnose in a person who does not have diabetes during pregnancy.
