• Type 1 diabetes is more common in people of European origin and most people with type 1 diabetes develop it as children or teenagers.
• Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of this disease which affects an estimated 90-95% of all diabetes cases and it is almost three times as likely to develop in non European (i.e. Pacific Island or Asian people) people. Most people with type 2 diabetes develop it after the age of 40 especially in people over 40 years who are overweight or inactive.
• Gestational diabetes occurs in some women while they are pregnant. Blood glucose levels usually return to normal once the baby is born, but women who have gestational diabetes are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later in life. Diabetes in pregnancy remains a leading cause of congenital abnormalities, stillbirths and miscarriages.

There is no one cause for diabetes, it is linked closely to our increasingly sedentary lifestyles and being obese with a lack of physical inactivity which greatly increases the change of being victim to this disease.
A lack of physical activity and excess food intake, especially fat and sugar are the main risk factors that can be changed.

To Prevent Diabetes:
1. Be physically active as type 2 diabetes is linked to inactivity
2. Eat a wide variety of natural foods, including fruits, vegetables, and whole grain foods.
3. Eat less sugar, sweets and fatty foods.

Physiology
When we eat any types of food, our body converts the food to energy (ATP), then the Energy  (ATP)  is used by the Human Cell.  ATP is the simplest form of energy that the cells in our body can use to do their normal daily actives.  For example, the Human cells uses ATP for a wide range of  like:

• Muscle contraction for locomotion moments
• Rebuilding and repairing of tissues
• Digestion and Transpiration of food, to everything else that happen in the body that hold homeostasis.
  However, With diabetes, The body has difficulties using food properly because it either fails to make enough insulin or doesn't use insulin correctly.
• Insulin is a hormone that helps convert food into energy.  For Example, after eating a meal, a person blood surge raises above homeostasis levels.  So, the receptors in the human arteries pick up the increase of surge levels.  After, the Receptors fire off a signal is sent to the to a brain, which then, the brain sends a message to the pancreas to release insulin because insulin decreases the  blood surge levels.  However, People that are victims to diabetes have a hard time controlling blood sugar levels.
