This document provides an overview of diabetes, including the different types. It explains that diabetes is a metabolic disease where blood glucose levels are too high due to the body either not producing enough insulin or not properly responding to insulin. The four main types of diabetes are prediabetes, type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease where the pancreas produces little to no insulin, type 2 is most common where the body becomes resistant to insulin, and gestational occurs in some pregnant women. Symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and risks of untreated diabetes are also outlined.
