There are <strong>two types<\/strong> of diabetes mellitus, type I and type II. Type <strong>I<\/strong> diabetes usually appears before the age of 40, during adolescence. With this type insulin production in pancreas has stopped. Type <strong>II<\/strong> appears when insulin production is not enough for the body to function properly or when body cells do not respond properly to insulin, which is called insulin <strong>resistance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In type <strong>I<\/strong> diabetes insulin is replaced by injected insulin or by an insulin pump. Foods that contain <strong>carbohydrates<\/strong>, through digestion, provide glucose. <strong>Glucose<\/strong> is important because it supplies energy. The <strong>aim<\/strong> of this service for people with type I diabetes is to educate them in order to balance their food and the insulin doses, so that glucose levels in blood remain normal and less hypo-\/hyper- glycaemia incidents occur.<\/p>\n<p>In type <strong>II<\/strong> diabetes symptoms are not always so obvious because the condition develops <strong>gradually<\/strong> through the years. While, even if someone feels healthy he or she may have glucose levels above normal (pre-diabetes) and an increased risk of developing the disease. Due to this in type II diabetes prevention is as important as therapy. This <strong>service\u2019s<\/strong> goal for people with type II diabetes, or pre-diabetes, is to make the requisite changes in their diet relative to the stage of the condition.
