Managing Diabetes

Diabetes is a lifelong condition where either your body does not produce enough insulin, or your body cannot use the insulin it produces. Your body needs insulin to change the sugar from food into energy. There are three main types of diabetes:

* Type 1, where the body makes little or no insulin;
* Type 2, where the body makes insulin but cannot use it properly; and
* Gestational Diabetes, where the body is not able to properly use insulin during pregnancy. This type of diabetes goes away after the baby is born.

Nine out of ten people with diabetes have Type 2. While there is no miracle cure for diabetes, diabetes can be managed.

You can prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes by making some simple lifestyle changes.
