Our body breaks down most of the food we eat into sugar (glucose) and releases it into the bloodstream. Under normal circumstances, this signals the pancreas to release a hormone called Insulin so that the body\u2019s cells accept the blood sugar and utilize it efficiently as energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With Diabetes, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin or utilize insulin efficiently. The increased blood sugar remains in the bloodstream, leading to significant health issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #003da9; font-size: 22pt; letter-spacing: 1px;\">Types of Diabetes<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt; letter-spacing: 1px; text-decoration: underline;\">Type 1<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Type 1 Diabetes is often hereditary. This is usually associated with insufficient production of Insulin by the pancreas. Regular Insulin injections are recommended for control.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt; letter-spacing: 1px; text-decoration: underline;\">Type 2<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Type 2 Diabetes can arise due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors, it is the most common form of Diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Risk factors include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Aged 40 years old and above<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Being Overweight<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lack of regular physical activity<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt; letter-spacing: 1px; text-decoration: underline;\">Gestational diabetes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hormonal changes during pregnancy may cause some women to have high blood glucose levels. Close monitoring of sugar levels, together with a well balanced diet and regular exercise, is beneficial in preventing complications to both the mother and child during pregnancy and delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Often, the blood glucose levels return to normal after delivery.
