UNDERSTANDING INSULIN
• Hormone produced in
pancreas for getting glucose
(sugar) into the cells for energy
for the body
• When body overwhelmed by
too much sugar, insulin cannot
be produced fast enough to
process it and the body
becomes glucose-intolerant
TYPE I DIABETES
• Classic form of diabetes

children or young adults – usually
by age 30

insulin-producing cells in the
pancreas
– Also known as “juvenile onset”
TYPE II DIABETES

• Can be present in children

heart disease.

mother and child.

may have a nutritional origin

STRESS

stress

EXERCISE
