Diabetes is a condition that causes high levels of glucose (a type of sugar) in your blood. This is because of a problem with a hormone called insulin your pancreas produces. Insulin moves glucose from your bloodstream and into the cells of your body for energy. If your body doesn't make enough insulin or can't use the insulin it makes, glucose stays in the bloodstream and can’t move across into your cells to give them the energy to work properly.

Type 1 diabetes happens when your body cannot make insulin. This type most commonly affects children and young adults and is a result of your body’s immune system attacking the cells that produce insulin in the pancreas. 1 in 10 people with diabetes is Type 1.

Type 2 diabetes is much more common than Type 1 and tends to develop gradually as people get older – usually after the age of 40. But more and more people every year are being diagnosed at a much younger age.

It's closely linked with:

• being overweight, especially if you carry weight around your middle

• being physically inactive

• a family history of Type 2 diabetes.

Some ethnic groups have a much higher rate of diabetes - particularly people of South Asian and African Caribbean origin. Type 2 diabetes is far more common than type 1. In the UK, around 90% of all adults with diabetes have type 2. During pregnancy, some women have such high levels of blood glucose that their body is unable to produce enough insulin to absorb it all. This is known as gestational diabetes.
