Learn About Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the inability of your body to either produce or produce enough insulin because of infection or disease resulting in the inability of normal blood sugar metabolism by way of insulin normally produced in sufficient quantity in the pancreas. Type 1 diabetics are insulin-dependent, meaning people with type 1 diabetes must take the medication form of insulin.
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by late-onset of diabetes most commonly associated with race, age, weight, and obesity. Type 2 diabetes begins with insulin resistance developed by poor eating and physical activity habits among other factors. It is lifestyle-induced meaning it can be reversed if corrective measures, and in some instances, medications are added to a routine of healthy eating and daily exercise. The amount of elevated blood sugar and other preexisting conditions affect the signs and symptoms of diabetes. People who experience mild symptoms or no symptoms may, in fact, be candidates for prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. People with Type 1 diabetes experience and express moderate to severe symptoms of diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes: Type 2 Diabetes: Type 2 is the most common type of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is thought of as lifestyle-induced diabetes and can develop at any age. Type 2 diabetes is most common among adults. Type 1 diabetes is diagnosed early in life, typically during early childhood or adolescence. If you feel or experience any of these signs or symptoms you should contact your doctor immediately. Type 1 diabetes is not a disease of choice. Type 1 diabetes usually occurs early in life due to specific genetic or illness factors. Type 2 diabetes is, for a lack of a better term, chosen. Essentially, if you are overweight or obese, over the age of 40, eat poorly, and are inactive (meaning no regular exercise) along with certain genetic factors — you may have a high risk of developing insulin resistance and/ or Type 2 diabetes.
