Type 1: also know as juvenile diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes.
Type 2: opposite of type 1 because the body simply does not respond normally to the insulin that is made. Type 2 is typically developed in obese individuals and can be reduced or prevented if adequate diet and exercise is implemented.
Gestational: develops during pregnancy, hormones can block insulin from doing it job, which increases glucose levels in the blood stream causing complications during pregnancy and larger babies. In most cases gestational diabetes disappears after the baby is born.
Metabolic Syndrome: is linked to type 2, causes extra weight gain in middle and upper portion of body, resulting in a resistance to insulin. Factors include aging, genes, hormone changes, and lack of exercise.
