There are three types of diabetes: You identify the type from the following.

1.Type 1 also called early onset or juvenile diabetes.This appears at a very young age and the person has to depend on insulin injections for life because his pancreatic gland is totally incapable of producing any insulin.Insulin is essential for converting glucose that we consume into energy. 

2.Type 2. This occurs at a later stage in life ,generally after 30 years of age.The reasons could be genetic,sedentary lifestyle,obesity and high stress for prolonged periods or a combination of all. 

3.Gestational diabetes occurs in some pregnant women and may disappear after child birth.Obviously,they need special care and monitoring.
