Diabetes
Diabetes means there is a problem with one’s ability to manage the blood glucose (sugar) levels due to ineffective insulin manufacture and dispersal by the pancreas. One can have type 1 or type 2 where the body may either not make enough insulin or is not able to use the insulin effectively, both of which leads blood glucose levels rising higher than normal. This is controlled with diet, exercise and an array of medications including the newest technology CGMS and insulin pumps for effective management of blood sugars.
