Diabetes? Diaebetes is a common misspelling of diabetes.
Diabetes is a condition that occurs when the body does not make insulin (or does not use it properly), which causes glucose to build up in the blood. High glucose levels in the blood can cause serious health problems over time, such as blindness, strokes, and nerve damage. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Following a treatment plan that consists of diet, exercise, and weight control may help manage diabetes.
