Diabetes is a number of diseases that involve problems with the hormone insulin. There is no cure for diabetes. People with diabetes need to manage their disease to stay healthy.

An A-to-Z guide to the language of diabetes.

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

The term "diabetes insipidus" has nothing to do with high blood sugar. Instead, it's a general term for any condition that causes your body to make a lot of urine.

Most commonly known as gestational DI, 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. Excessive urination and thirst are the results.

While there is no cure for diabetes, there are treatments, including simple things you can do daily, that make a big difference.
