Diabetes

The Diabetes topic includes research on the causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diabetes (including type 1, type 2, type 3c, gestational, and cystic fibrosis–related diabetes) and its complications. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause other health problems, such as heart disease, nerve damage, eye problems, and kidney disease. You can take steps to prevent or manage diabetes. The most common types of diabetes are type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
