The term ‘diabetes’ means excessive urination and the word ‘mellitus’ means honey. • Diabetes mellitus is a lifelong condition caused by a lack, or insufficiency of insulin • Insulin is a hormone – a substance of vital importance that is made by your pancreas. Insulin acts like a key to open the doors into your cells, letting sugar (glucose) in • In diabetes, the pancreas makes too little insulin to enable all the sugar in your blood to get into your muscle and other cells to produce energy • If sugar can’t get into the cells to be used, it builds up in the bloodstream • Therefore, diabetes is characterized by high blood sugar levels Types of diabetes There are two main categories of diabetes: • Type 1 diabetes tends to occur in childhood or early adult life, and always requires treatment with insulin injections • It is caused by the body’s own immune system destroying the insulin-making cells (beta-cells) of the pancreas • Type 2 diabetes usually develops slowly in adulthood • It is progressive and can sometimes be treated with diet and exercise, but more often Type 2 diabetes may require anti-diabetic medicine and/or insulin injections.
