    The document discusses several types of diabetes and related conditions. It describes type 1 diabetes as an autoimmune disease where the body destroys beta cells, making patients insulin dependent. Type 2 diabetes is described as being caused by insulin resistance and affecting mostly older adults in a non-insulin dependent way. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy without a previous history and usually resolves after childbirth but increases risk of later type 2 diabetes. Cushing's disease and Acromegaly are also summarized as conditions caused by abnormal hormone levels affecting the pituitary gland or hypothalamus.
