What is insulin? -Insulin is a hormone that is produced by specialized cells (beta cells) of the pancreas. Insulin helps glucose enter the cells, insulin is also important in tightly regulating the level of glucose in the blood
0What causes diabetes? Insufficient production of insulin (either absolutely or relative to the body's needs), Problem in type 1 inability of cells to use insulin properly and efficiently. ( This is the primary problem in type 2 )
DIABETES TYPE 1 DIABETES TYPE 2
There are two types of diabetes: DIABETES TYPE I DIABETES TYPE 2

Symptoms: high amounts of glucose in the urine, which leads to dehydration and causes increased thirst and water consumption; weight loss despite an increase in appetite; bladder, skin, and vaginal infections; blurred vision; and fatigue; nausea; vomiting;
DIAGNOSIS: 0 Diabetes is diagnosed by blood sugar (glucose) testing. 0 Normal values: 0 3,5 mmol/l 5,6 mmol/l
Deviation from normal values: 0 Hypoglycemia: Is the medical term for a state produced by a lower than normal level of blood glucose. 0 Hyperglycemia: Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar, is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma.
Complications of diabetes are acute and chronic: 0 ACUTE: dangerously elevated blood sugar, abnormally low blood sugar due to diabetes medications may occur. 0 CHRONIC: disease of the blood vessels (both small and large) which can damage the eye, kidneys, nerves, and heart may occur
