Answer:

- Type 1 diabetes: the pancreas produces a hormone called insulin, which is responsible for regulating the bloodstream's sugar, helping it enter the cells to produce energy. When the pancreas does not produce it, type 1 diabetes occurs; It usually appears at an early age of life.

- Type 2 diabetes or diabetes mellitus: Is this type of diabetes insulin is insufficient or there is an organism resistance to it; It is the most common diabetes in adults.

- Hyperglycemia: Normal circulating sugar values and according to the method used to calculate its percentage range between 70 and 100 mg%. when we find values above 100 mg% it refers to hyperglycemia

- Hypoglycemia: when the normal circulating sugar values are below 70 mg%, it refers to hypoglycemia.
