    Type 2 diabetes stems from genetic and lifestyle factors such as being overweight, which causes cells to become resistant to insulin's effects on blood sugar. Family history also plays a role by sharing genes that increase risk. Gestational diabetes results from hormonal changes in pregnancy making cells less sensitive to insulin, potentially causing high blood sugar, and women who are overweight or gain too much weight during pregnancy are more likely to develop it. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, possibly due to genes or a virus triggering an immune response.

    TYPE 2 diabetes stems from a combination of genetics and lifestyle
    factors. Being overweight or obese increases your risk too. Carrying extra
    weight, especially in your belly, makes your cells more resistant to the
    sugar. effects of insulin on your blood sugar. This condition runs in families.
    Family members share genes that make them more likely to get type 2
    diabetes and to be overweight.

    GESTATIONAL DIABETES is the result of hormonal changes


    during pregnancy. The placenta produces hormones that make a pregnant woman’s cells
    less sensitive to the effects of insulin. This can cause high blood sugar during
    pregnancy. Women who are overweight when they get pregnant or who gain too much
