Top Diabetes Flashcards

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because their body does not produce enough insulin, or because their body’s cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both. People with high blood sugar typically experience frequent urination, and they will become increasingly thirsty and hungry. These flashcards will teach you a variety of facts about diabetes.

For example, did you know that in 2013, approximately 382 million people in the world had diabetes? Did you also know that there are two types of diabetes: Type 1, in which the body does not produce insulin, and Type 2, in which the body does not produce enough insulin for proper function? Whether it’s to impress your friends or to simply increase your general knowledge, these flashcards will definitely teach you as much as you need to know about diabetes!
