You may think you know what diabetes is. But do you know there are actually several types of diabetes, each with its own causes and risk factors? It's important to understand the different types because so many Americans live with the disease -- 29 million people in the U.S., or 9 percent of the population, according to the American Diabetes Association. Diabetes experts expect that number to grow as obesity becomes a bigger health problem, as being overweight or obese is more likely to lead to diabetes.
