There are five types of diabetes; types 1-5:

Type 1 Diabetes [1] - is also known as insulin-dependent diabetes melitus and is caused due to the immune system destroying pancratic beta cells and so preventing them producing insulin.

Type 2 Diabetes[2] - is also known as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and is caused due to insulin no longer triggering its signalling cascade.

Type 3 Diabetes - other specific types of diabetes

Type 4 Diabetes [3]- gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)

Type 5 Diabetes [4]- impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG)
