Diabetes is a number of diseases that involve problems with the hormone insulin. There is no cure for diabetes.

There are three major types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes.

Diabetes insipidus causes you to have an almost unquenchable thirst and your body to make a lot of urine.

Gestational DI, or gestagenic diabetes insipidus, is a rare disorder that happens in pregnancy, usually in the third trimester.

In nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, the kidneys can't respond to a hormone that regulates fluid balance.

The warning signs of diabetes can be so mild that you don't notice them. That's especially true of type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes diagnostic tests include a fasting plasma glucose test, oral glucose tolerance test, or random plasma glucose test.

An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) shows how well your body handles sugar from foods.

The hemoglobin A1c test is an important blood test that shows how well your diabetes is being controlled.

Two simple tests that check your urine can help you and your doctor watch for kidney disease and severe high blood sugar.

You cannot treat diabetes on your own. Your doctor will help you make a diabetes treatment plan that is right for you.

Different doctors can help you manage different aspects of your diabetes. Find out who you need on your team.

Many forms of insulin treat diabetes, including rapid-acting, short-acting, intermediate-acting, long-acting, and pre-mixed.

Toujeo is an injectable insulin medication for the treatment of diabetes (type 1 or type 2) in people who are 6 years old and older. It is a long-acting form of insulin, which allows it to last for a long time in the body to help control blood sugars.

Has your doctor prescribed insulin to help manage your type 1 or type 2 diabetes? You’ll want to know how and when to take it.

When you think about diabetes drugs, you may think of insulin or other medications that you get from a shot or a pump.

Jardiance works by temporarily stopping the SGLT2 proteins from working, allowing more sugar (glucose) to leave the body through the urine. Through this process, it can also cause weight loss and a decrease in blood pressure.

Rybelsus is commonly used to help lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Overall, people taking Rybelsus alone or with other medicines for type 2 diabetes had a lower HbA1c and lost more weight compared with people taking a placebo.

Blood sugar control is at the center of any diabetes treatment plan. High blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, is a major concern.

People with diabetes get hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) when their bodies don't have enough sugar to use as fuel.

Continuous glucose monitors are FDA-approved systems that track your blood sugar levels day and night.

Most people with diabetes need to check their glucose levels regularly. The results help you and your doctor manage those levels.

Low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, happens to many people with diabetes. Most episodes related to insulin can be avoided.

An insulin reaction is a health risk for anyone with diabetes.

When you watch your diet because you have diabetes, you'll want to pay special attention to carbohydrates.

The glycemic index gives you a way to tell slower-acting "good carbs" from the faster "bad carbs."
