tissues. As a result, a person with diabetes does not absorb glucose properly,
so that it is circulating in the blood (hyperglycemia) and tissue damage over
time. This deterioration causes potentially lethal complications for health.
There are three main types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes
Gestational diabetes
mellitus (GDM)
