Understanding Diabetes Diabetes mellitus encompasses a set of metabolic conditions marked by elevated blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). In these conditions, the body encounters difficulties producing sufficient insulin or fails to utilize the produced insulin effectively. There are three main types of diabetes:

Type 1: The body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

Type 2: The body either becomes resistant to insulin or fails to produce enough insulin.

Gestational diabetes: High blood sugar develops during pregnancy but usually disappears after childbirth.
