There are three main types of diabetes:

problem because you need insulin to take the sugar (glucose)
from the foods you eat and turn it into energy for your body. You
need to take insulin every day to live.
 Type 2 diabetes – Your body does not make or use insulin
well. You may need to take pills or insulin to help control your
diabetes. Type 2 is the most common type of diabetes.
 Gestational diabetes – Some women get this kind of diabetes
when they are pregnant. Most of the time, it goes away after
the baby is born. But even if it goes away, these women and
their children have a greater chance of getting diabetes later in
life.
