Every year, World Diabetes Day takes place on 14th November and between 2014 and 2016, the theme will be ‘Healthy Living and Diabetes’
World Diabetes Day is a great chance to find out about the condition, knowing about the warning signs and risks it brings, and then knowing who can help to manage and control it.
A lot of people don’t realise there’s three different types of diabetes, Type One, Type Two and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, here’s some more information about them!
Type One is where suffers have to inject insulin hormone into their bodies in order to produce what the body can’t. A body without insulin means blood glucose levels are heightened and could lead to organ damage.
Type Two isn’t insulin dependent but it could still mean suffers can have high blood pressure and a decreased amount of insulin in the body.
Gestational Diabetes sometimes occurs in pregnant women when the body cannot produce enough insulin to get them through pregnancy.
