• Type 2 diabetes, also known as adult onset diabetes, comprises 90% of all diabetes cases. It can be prevented through a healthy and active lifestyle and treated with medication if left untreated; it can damage internal organs and result in various health complications.
• Gestational diabetes, which occurs only during pregnancy. Usually characterized by high blood glucose levels and can cause complications before and after birth. However, it often never lingers on after pregnancy.
