What is diabetes? There are three main types of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common, in which the body doesn’t use or create insulin correctly and causes too much suger to be in the blood. Type 1 diabetes happens when the body doesn’t produce enough insulin. Gestational diabetes can develop in pregnant women due to hormone changes.

This collection can grow and become dangerous if you don’t check it regularly to make sure the medicines are still needed and not expired.  The expiration date on a drug is the date a manufacture can guarantee the full potency and safety of the drug. If the expiration date has passed and you want medicine that is 100% effective, you may need to consider taking something else.
