 * “The first type is called Type I Diabetes. Formerly known as juvenile diabetes, this type begins to make its appearance in pre-adolescence or adolescent growth. It is an insulin dependent autoimmune disease in which the body destroys its own beta cells. It accounts for 10% of all diabetes types.” Pg. 1
 * “The second type is called Type II Diabetes. This disease generally appears after 40 years of age. It is most likely triggered by poor diet and lack of exercise. Because of poor diets and the availability of fast food, Type II diabetes is now showing up in teenagers. It is non-insulin dependent, meaning insulin is used to control blood sugar levels but is not crucial to maintaining life.” Pg.1
 * “Gestational Diabetes is the third type of diabetes. Occurring during a woman’s pregnancy, the mother has difficulty digesting carbohydrates. Gynecologists usually perform this test on all pregnant women early in the first trimester.” Pg. 1
