What is the difference between Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system destroys the cells that release insulin, which is a hormone that helps the body use or store glucose. Type 2 diabetes develops when the body isn’t able to use insulin properly. Gestational diabetes is a condition that pregnant women develop when their body is not able to make and use insulin properly during pregnancy.
Women's health encompasses a broad spectrum of care — focused on the treatment and diagnosis of conditions that affect a woman's physical and mental well-being throughout life.
