care professionals including a doctor, a dietitian,
a nurse, a diabetes educator, and others. The team
act as advisers to the person with diabetes.

diabetes is out of control.
Type 1 diabetes: A condition characterized
by high blood glucose levels caused by a total lack
of insulin. Occurs when the body's immune system
attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the

little or no insulin. Type 1 diabetes develops most
often in young people but can appear in adults.
Type II diabetes: Former term for type 2
diabetes.
