| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. Most cases of diabetes mellitus fall into three broad categories: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Management of diabetes includes close dietary management, exercise, and use of appropriate medications. This book studies types of diabetes, blood tests to measure blood sugar, and diabetes management including neonatal diabetes mellitus, maturity onset diabetes of the young, glucose tolerance test, and diabetic diet.
