Type 1 And Type 2 Diabetes

There Are Two Main Types Of Diabetes

In Type 1 diabetes,when insulin producing cell in the
pancreas which help to regulate blood sugar levels have
been destroyed.Type 1 diabetes is also known as juvenile
diabetes because it is mostly diagnosed on patients with
usually starts in childhood,although some people develop
Type 1 diabetes when they are adults below age 35.

Type 1 diabetes,is an autoimmune disease.An autoimmune
disease results when the body's system for fighting infection
(the immune system) turns against a part of the body.In
diabetes,the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin
producing beta cell in the pancreas.The pancreas then
produces little or no insulin.A person who has Type 1
diabetes must take insulin daily to live.

Type 2 diabetes,the cell in the body tissues become unable
to respond properly to insulin.This means that the pancreas
has to work harder to produce more insulin.This causes the
cell in the pancreas become 'worn out' and are unable to
produce insulin as effectively as they used to.This generally
happens after the age of  40.

Type 2 diabetes is most common form of diabetes is most
often associate with older age,obesity,family history of
diabetes,previous history of gestational diabetes,physical
inactivity,and certain ethnicity.

People who are overweight are particularly likely to develop
Type 2 diabetes.However,Type 2 diabetes is increasing
being diagnosed in children and adolescents today.

Type 2 Diabetes is a lifestyle disease that often can be
prevented or controlled by a proper diet and exercise.
