- What Is Diabetes And It's Type
Diabetes is the condition in which the amount of glucose in the blood is too high. This happens when the body's method of converting glucose into energy does not work properly and allows the level of glucose to rise. The process that converts glucose into energy relies on a hormone known as insulin. When the supply of insulin stops or it becomes ineffective, blood glucose levels can rise and results in diabetes.

The most commonly used screening tests are the determination of the fasting blood glucose level and the blood glucose level tested after two hours after a meal.
