Types of Diabetes

There are two main types of diabetes:

• Type 1 Diabetes: Insulin production is insufficient or ineffective.
• Type 2 Diabetes: The body is unable to properly process blood glucose.

• Monitoring Blood Sugar: Regular monitoring using daily blood glucose meters and periodic HbA1C tests.
• Insulin Therapy: Different types of insulin may be prescribed based on the patient's needs.
