There are two types of diabetes insulin-dependent Type I and non-insulin-dependent Type II . An estimated 14 million people in the United States have diabetes and most 90-95 have the non-insulin-dependent type. Unlike the symptoms of Type I diabetes the symptoms of Type II often develop gradually and are hard to identify at first. 1 Therefore nearly half of all people with Type II diabetes do not know they have it. 2 While the causes onset of symptoms shortterm effects and treatments of the two types differ both types of diabetes can cause the same long-term health problems. 3 The most important problem is the way both types affect the body s ability to use digested food for energy. Diabetes does not interfere with digestion but it does prevent the body from using an important product of digestion glucose commonly known as sugar for energy. After a meal the normal digestive system breaks some food down into glucose. The blood carries glucose throughout the body causing blood glucose levels to rise. In response to this rise the hormone insulin is released into the blood stream. Insulin signals the body tissues to metabolize or burn the glucose for fuel which causes blood glucose levels to return to normal. The glucose that the body does not use right away is stored in the liver muscle tissue or fat. In both types of diabetes however this normal process malfunctions. A gland called the pancreas found just behind the stomach makes insulin. In people with insulin-dependent diabetes the pancreas does not produce insulin at all. These patients must have daily insulin .
