Generally, diabetes types 1, 2 and gestational diabetes are briefly explained here. Type 1 Diabetes is also known as an autoimmune disorder. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks and destroys the beta cells of the pancreas, supplying our body with insulin. Also, the damage is life long and cannot be elucidated. This may attack through environmental reasons and genetic. Type 2 diabetes begins with insulin resistance. This means that your body cannot use insulin effectively. This will stimulate your pancreas to generate more insulin until it cannot keep up with the demand. Insulin production is reduced, leading to high blood sugar. Unexplained inferior due to type 1 diabetes:

• Being overweight
• Sedentary life
• Genetics

Gestational diabetes (GDM)

Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a type of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy and is associated with maternal and fatal complications. Gestational diabetes occurs because the body does not produce enough insulin to get pregnant. As a result, glucose accumulates in the blood at high levels, leading to hyperglycaemia. Gestational diabetes occurs late in pregnancy and the baby's body is designed not to cause birth defects.
