All About Diabetes

The body needs insulin (a hormone) to convert the sugar glucose into energy. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas doesn't produce insulin, whereas in type 2, the pancreas either doesn't produce enough insulin, or the body doesn't properly respond to it. <a href="http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/18zW&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fdiabetes.about.com%2Fod%2Fwhatisdiabetes%2Fp%2Fwhatisdiabetes.htm%3Fnl%3D1">The Balance of Glucose and Insulin</a><ul><li><a href="http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/18zW&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fdiabetes.about.com%2Fod%2Fwhatisdiabetes%2Fp%2Ftype1diabetes.htm%3Fnl%3D1">Understanding Type 1 Diabetes</a></li><li><a href="http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/18zW&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fdiabetes.about.com%2Fod%2Fwhatisdiabetes%2Fqt%2Ftype2diabetes.htm%3Fnl%3D1">Type 2 Diabetes: The Facts</a></li></ul>

What To Look For

Fatigue, continual thirst, a frequent need to urinate, severe hunger, and unexplained weight loss are all signs of both types of diabetes. Type 1 usually develops in children and young adults, while type 2 can occur at any age. <a href="http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/18zX&zu=http%3A%2F%2Ftype1diabetes.about.com%2Fod%2Ftype1diabetesbasics%2Fa%2Fsymptomstype1.htm%3Fnl%3D1">Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes</a><ul><li><a href="http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/18zX&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fdiabetes.about.com%2Fod%2Fwhatisdiabetes%2Fa%2FPre-Diabetes-Symptoms.htm%3Fnl%3D1">Signs and Symptoms of Early Type 2</a></li><li><a href="http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/18zX&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fdiabetes.about.com%2Fod%2Fsymptomsdiagnosis%2Ftp%2Friskfactors.htm%3Fnl%3D1">Top 7 Risk Factors For Diabetes</a></li></ul>

How To Lose Weight To Prevent Diabetes

There's no way to prevent type 1 diabetes (it must be treated), but up to 80 percent of type 2 cases can be prevented with a good diet, regular exercise, and by maintaining a healthy weight. <a href="http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/18zY&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fweightloss.about.com%2Fod%2Fobesityhealth%2Fss%2FDiabetes-Diet-A-Step-by-Step-Guide.htm%3Fnl%3D1">Step-by-Step Guide to Diabetes and Weight Loss</a><ul><li><a href="http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/18zY&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fdiabetes.about.com%2Fod%2Fnutrition%2Fa%2FMediterranean-Diet-And-Diabetes.htm%3Fnl%3D1">The Mediterranean Diet and Diabetes</a></li><li><a href="http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/18zY&zu=http%3A%2F%2Faltmedicine.about.com%2Fod%2Fdiabetes%2Fa%2Fdiabetes_prevention.htm%3Fnl%3D1">Natural Remedies For Diabetes Prevention</a></li></ul>
