[quote=GAFFER,419160]Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is caused due to high level of glucose in the blood. Though both men and women can be affected by this disease, the rate of diabetic women has increased considerably in recent years. Moreover, it is said that women are more at risk of being affected by health problems caused by diabetes than men. Hence, we will focus on knowing the symptoms of diabetes in women. Nevertheless, before we go into the details of diabetes symptoms in women, let us try to know more about diabetes mellitus i.e. about its types as well as causes. Diabetes can be mainly classified into two types which include type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. The former i.e., type 1 diabetes is also called juvenile diabetes as it is most commonly seen in young children, teenagers and adults under the age of 25 - 30. This occurs when the pancreas are unable to produce insulin, which are responsible to carry glucose to the cells. However, when enough insulin is not produced, the glucose level in the blood increases, causing the person to have diabetes. On the other hand, type 2 diabetes is said to occur in middle aged and older people who suffer from the problem of obesity. This type of diabetes commonly occurs due to sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits. In this case, the pancreas do produce insulin, but the body becomes resistant to insulin i.e., the body is not able to use the insulin properly, leading to the presence of glucose in the blood. Apart from these two, gestational diabetes is the third type of diabetes that occurs in women. Gestational diabetes, as the name suggests occurs when a none diabetic woman is pregnant and occurs due to hormonal changes that occur in the body during at his time. Though gestational diabetes does not stay after the baby is born, women who have gestational diabetes during pregnancy, are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in their life.
