Diabetes

• Type 1 diabetes is a disorder in which the pancreas fails to produce sufficient insulin
• Type 1 diabetes is characterised by uncontrolled high blood glucose levels and is normally treated with insulin
• Type 2 diabetes is a disorder in which the body cells no longer respond to insulin produced by the pancreas
• Type 2 diabetes usually affects adults and is associated with obesity
• Carbohydrate-controlled dishes and an exercise regime are common treatments for Type 2 diabetes
• Blood sugar remains high


  Cells are not responding to insulin, therefore sugar is not being removed from the blood
