Expert Solution

Step 1 Introduction on Diabetes

There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Both types are chronic diseases that affect the way our body regulates blood sugar. Glucose is essentially required fuel that feeds our body’s cells, but to enter our cells it needs a hormone. Insulin serves a very important hormone. People with type 1 diabetes don’t produce enough insulin. It can be thought of as not having an insulin. People with type 2 diabetes develop resistance against insulin. Both types of diabetes can lead to high blood glucose levels which increases the risk of complications related to diabetes.
