               developing type II diabetes. The wrong foods can also have a negative
               impact on your lifestyle. Therefore, you need to watch the foods you
               consume.

               A Look At Gestational Diabetes

               This diabetes type is seen only in pregnant women. It occurs when a
               woman has an excessive amount of blood glucose and the body cannot
               generate enough insulin to use all the sugar. When gestational
               diabetes isn’t controlled, it can result in childbirth complications.

               The baby may be bigger than they should be, which means the woman
               may need a C-section. Once gestational diabetes is diagnosed, the
               woman must start using blood-sugar controlling medications.

               According to various research, consuming a significant amount of
               cholesterol and animal fat increases a woman’s chance of developing
               gestational diabetes. If you plan on becoming pregnant, you must
               control how much animal fat and cholesterol you consume.

               A Look At Bronze Diabetes

               Bronze diabetes – also called hemochromatosis – is diagnosed when
               doctors note the body is absorbing a significant amount of iron from
               the food you consume. The name comes from what it does to the body
               – darkens the skin and hyperglycemia.

               This type of diabetes is the result of a faulty gene and will eventually
               lead to potential damage in other bodily organs. Due to the fact that
               bronze diabetes can cause damage to organs, a liver biopsy must be
               done to see if damage has taken place.

               Bronze diabetes symptoms tend to become noticeable at age 40.
               Doctors will diagnose people with this condition by doing a serum
               ferritin and transferrin saturation blood test. It may also be necessary
               to do a DNA blood test to see if it’s genetic.

               A Look At Diabetes Insipidus

               This is a rare diabetes type, which results in the imbalance of bodily
               fluids. Due to the imbalance, you may still be thirsty even if you just
