Diabetes services
Diabetes is a condition that causes a person’s blood sugar level to become too high.
There are 2 main types of diabetes:
type 1 diabetes – a lifelong condition where the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin
type 2 diabetes – where the body does not produce enough insulin, or the body’s cells do not react to insulin properly
Type 2 diabetes is far more common than type 1. In the UK, over 90% of all adults with diabetes have type 2.
High blood sugar that develops during pregnancy is known as gestational diabetes. It usually goes away after giving birth.
Understanding and managing diabetes is key to a healthier and happier life, small changes can make a big difference.
