Basically divided into four categories of diabetes: type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes and other types.

Type 1 diabetes: also known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile diabetes, prone to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Also known as young-onset diabetes because it often in the 35-year-old previously disease, diabetes accounted for 10%. Type 1 diabetes are dependent on insulin treatment, that is to say from the onset patients beginning to use insulin therapy, and life-long use. The reason is that patients with type 1 diabetes produce insulin, the body cells of the pancreas has been completely damaged, thus completely lost the function to produce insulin. Absolute lack of insulin in the body of the circumstances, will cause blood sugar level continues to rise, there diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes: also known as adult-onset diabetes, more than 35 ~ 40-year-old after the incidence, accounting for more than 90% of patients with diabetes. Type 2 diabetes patients the ability to produce insulin, the body is not completely lost, and some patients might even have too much insulin, but the effect of insulin is greatly reduced, so the patient is a relative lack of insulin. Some oral drugs can stimulate insulin secretion in vivo. However, some patients still need the latter as type 1 diabetes as insulin therapy conducted.

Gestational diabetes: is defined as pregnancy or the first time found that the diagnosis of impaired glucose tolerance of the disease, the incidence rate was 0.15% -12.3%, easily give rise to macrosomia, fetal distress, intrauterine fetal death, neonatal respiratory distress prone integrated Levy, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, erythrocytosis and low serum calcium and so on.
