    There are four main types of diabetes mellitus (DM): Type 1, Type 2, gestational diabetes, and secondary diabetes. Type 1 DM accounts for 5-10% of cases and is caused by the failure of the pancreas to produce insulin. Type 2 DM makes up 90-95% of cases and occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use it effectively. Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy and usually resolves after delivery. Secondary diabetes is caused by other diseases or medical conditions. Risk factors for Type 2 DM include age over 45, overweight/obesity, family history, high blood pressure, and sedentary lifestyle.
