TREATING DIABETES IN CONCORD, MA

What Causes Diabetes?

Diabetes begins as prediabetes, a condition where your blood glucose is high but not quite at severe levels. Without proper treatment and diet modification, this condition can progress into full-blown Type 2 diabetes. There is also Type 1, a genetic disorder that typically appears in childhood.

With Type 1, your immune system attacks the body’s own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Without insulin, sugar quickly builds up in the blood, so those with Type 1 must monitor their blood glucose carefully and take insulin when necessary.
