* Type 1 diabetes. This type used to be known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM, or juvenile-onset diabetes (childhood). A person with this type makes little or no insulin. So he or she needs to take insulin shots each day.
* Type 2 diabetes. This type used to be known as noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM, or adult-onset diabetes. This is by far the most common type of diabetes. Someone with type 2 diabetes might make healthy or even high levels of insulin. But obesity makes his or her body resistant to its effect. Type 2 diabetes used to be rare in children. But with the increase in obesity in children, doctors are now finding that as many as 1 out of each 20 children who have diabetes has type 2 diabetes. Of these children, 85% are obese.
* Gestational diabetes or pregnancy-induced diabetes. This type of diabetes develops in a pregnant woman. In most cases, this type of diabetes goes away after the woman's child is born.

Thanks for the vital information.It's a worthy knowledge.Whenever any hard lucked person is diagnosed with diabetes, the most common instruction which he is bound to have it from every one is to reduce the consumption of simple carbohydrates. Even the dietitians and his endocrinologist recommend the same.

Diabetes—is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease where the body's immune system destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This type of diabetes, also known as juvenile-onset diabetes, accounts for 10-15% of all people with the disease. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, affecting 85-90% of all people with the disease. This type of diabetes, also known as late-onset diabetes, is characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. The disease is strongly genetic in origin but lifestyle factors such as excess weight, inactivity, high blood pressure and poor diet are major risk factors for its development.
