Diabetes, or diabetes mellitus, is a metabolic type of disease in which affected people have high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate (Type 2), or because the islet cells in the pancreas no longer produce insulin (Type 1, sometimes referred to as juvenile diabetes). People with diabetes typically experience frequent urination, become increasingly thirsty and hungry. The American Diabetes Association estimates that nearly 30 million Americans suffer from either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and that 25.9% of American's 65 years of age or greater have Type 2 diabetes.
