National Diabetes Awareness Month

Diabetes Melitus, also known as “sugar disease,” is of immense public health concern. Millions of people around the world who live with diabetes do so because their body either doesn't produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces (Type 2 Diabetes) or the body attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells (Type 1 Diabetes).

Women during pregnancy may suffer from gestational diabetes when their body cannot produce enough insulin to meet their increased needs during pregnancy leading to elevated blood sugar levels. This increases the risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery and leads to Type 2 diabetes later in life.
