There are many types of diabetes, but the 3 main ones are:

• Type 1 Diabetes — The pancreas does not produce any insulin (a hormone that helpscontrol the amount of glucose or sugar in your blood)
• Type 2 Diabetes — Your body cannot make enough insulin or does not properly use theinsulin it makes.
• Gestational Diabetes — Can occur during pregnancy, triggered by hormones

Understanding diabetes is crucial for prevention and management!
