In order to keep ourselves healthy and safe, it is important to understand the differences between the three main types of diabetes and get knowledge about how the condition is treated.

Diabetes is a condition where the levels of sugar in the blood rise to unhealthy and often dangerous levels. In general, the condition cannot be “cured,” so most patients living with the disease will have it for their entire lives.

However, there is potential to successfully manage the disease and reduce the risk it poses to your health. Depending on the severity of a patient’s diabetes (and the type of diabetes they have), there may be several different treatment options available.

Furthermore, those who do not have diabetes but are considered to be at risk of developing the condition — known as prediabetics — may be able to take certain steps to prevent the disease from developing or to diminish its severity.

Read on to learn more about how diabetes works and how treatment options differ depending on the details of each condition.
