Diabetes is a disease that develops due to poor lifestyle and poor eating habits, among which children, youth and elderly are also vulnerable. Due to poor eating habits, people become victims of life-threatening diseases at a young age. There are two types of diabetes type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Both these types of diabetes occur due to the deterioration of the diet for a long time.
When the pancreas in our body reduces or stops producing insulin, then the level of glucose in the blood starts increasing rapidly. If the increased sugar in the blood is not controlled, the patient becomes a victim of diabetes.
Both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are harmful to health. If the symptoms of this disease are recognized immediately, then this disease can be avoided. Let us know what is the difference between these two types of diabetes and how to identify their symptoms.
Type 1 Diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas stops working. The beta cells present in the pancreas start getting damaged which produce insulin in the body. Due to their damage, insulin is not produced and the level of sugar in the blood starts increasing rapidly. Patients with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin daily. In most cases, type 1 diabetes affects children and young people. This diabetes is genetic, that is, family history matters in this.
Type 2 Diabetes: Type-2-diabetes is a disease for which obesity, high blood pressure, poor lifestyle are solely responsible. In this diabetes, the production of insulin in the body decreases. Due to less insulin production, the cells present in the blood become less sensitive to this hormone, due to which the level of glucose in the blood starts rising.
If the blood glucose level is not controlled, the patient becomes a victim of type-2 diabetes. Middle-aged or old people are more prone to this disease, but now type 2 diabetes is also rapidly affecting children and adolescents.
In type 1 and type 2 diabetes, similar symptoms are seen in the patient. If its symptoms are recognized in time, then this disease can be prevented, as well as the complications of this disease can also be reduced. Let us know what are the symptoms of these two types of diabetes.
