Diabetes

Diabetes is a condition that causes a person’s blood sugar level to become too high. There are 2 forms of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is when the immune system destroys the cells that produce insulin, causing blood sugars to rise. Type 2 is where the body doesn’t produce enough insulin, or the body’s cells don’t react to insulin. In the UK, 90% of adults that have diabetes have type 2. Some of the main symptoms of diabetes include constantly feeling thirsty, urinating a lot, fatigue, common episodes of thrush, and more.
