糖尿病护理

Diabetes is a condition in which the body needs help turning food into energy because it is unable to produce or use insulin to process glucose in the body. According to the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse, 17.9 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with diabetes; another 5.7 million people are undiagnosed.

There are two types of diabetes, and one special type:

• Type 1 diabetes—when the pancreas is unable to produce insulin and insulin injections are required
• Type 2 diabetes—the body produces insulin but is unable to use it efficiently
• 妊娠期糖尿病 affects pregnant women
