Important Announcement: The New Library System and updated E-resource login process are Here!. As part of OhioLINK, Ohio's academic library consortium, the NEOMED Library is updating its 30-year-old shared systems. The new system allows researchers to "discover" print and electronic resources with a single search. Click here to start using the new system. Additionally, we have also changed the way that you all will login for off-campus access to the electronic resources provided by the NEOMED Library. All NEOMED students, faculty, clinical faculty, staff, and retirees, will click on the "Login using your NEOMED Network credentials" link on the login page. From there, you will be routed through NEOMED's network login process using the same login credentials that you use for logging into your email, Sharepoint, and other essential NEOMED networked resources. Please be patient with us as we get everything situated for your use and contact us with any questions at 330-325-6600 or e-mail library@neomed.edu for help.

Diabetes Information

Diabetes affects how the body manages insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar. There are four types of diabetes, prediabetes, type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. Diabetes can be managed with a healthy diet, physical activity, insulin therapy and medication. The information below is about diabetes, prevention and management. 

Prediabetes

Prediabetes is diagnosed before type 2 diabetes. With prediabetes, blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough yet to diagnose type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes can be managed to prevent type 2 diabetes from developing. 

Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is often diagnosed in childhood, but not always. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas struggles to create insulin. Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong condition. Type 1 diabetes can be managed with insulin, medications and lifestyle habits. 

Type 2 Diabetes

People with type 2 diabetes have too much glucose in their blood. Type 2 diabetes can be caused by genetics or lifestyle habits. Type 2 diabetes can be managed by monitoring your glucose levels, managing diet, losing weight and support from medical professionals. 

Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes happens during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes causes high blood sugar that is harmful to the baby and the mother. Pregnant mothers are tested for gestational diabetes and need support from medical professionals to keep both mother and baby healthy.
