There are four main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, and prediabetes. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks the pancreas, type 2 is caused by the body not producing enough insulin or cells not responding to insulin properly. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy. Prediabetes means blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Complications of diabetes include cardiovascular, kidney, nerve and eye diseases. Diabetes is tested through A1C, fasting plasma glucose, and oral glucose tolerance tests. Treatment options include oral medications, insulin injections, surgery, and lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Future treatments may include gene therapy for type 1
