Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes - ERODE DIABETES FOUNDATION (1)

<br>Diabetes affects how the body regulates blood sugar, with Type 1 and Type 2 having distinct causes and treatments. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease where the body destroys insulin-producing cells, often starting in childhood. Type 2 involves insulin resistance and is commonly linked to lifestyle factors. Understanding both types is key for proper management and care.<br>

  2. Synopsis • Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes • What is Type 1 Diabetes? • What is Type 2 Diabetes? • Similarities Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes • To Sum-up

  3. Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes • Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how the body regulates blood sugar, or glucose. • While both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes result in high blood sugar levels, they differ significantly in their causes, mechanisms, and management. • Therefore, understanding these differences is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment. • .

  4. What is Type 1 Diabetes? • Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. • Consequently, the pancreas produces little to no insulin. Further, this type of diabetes typically develops during childhood or adolescence. • However, it can occur at any age.

  5. What is Type 2 Diabetes? • Type 2 diabetes happens when the body can't use insulin properly or doesn't make enough of it to keep blood sugar levels normal. • Unlike Type 1, this form of diabetes is often linked to lifestyle factors and typically develops in adults. • However, it’s increasingly being diagnosed in younger populations as well. • .

  6. Similarities Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes • Elevated blood glucose levels are a common feature of both conditions, necessitating careful management. • Common symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, persistent fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. • Without timely treatment, these conditions can result in serious complications like heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve issues. • Effective management relies on regular monitoring of blood sugar levels. • .

  7. To Sum-up • So, while Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes share some similarities, their underlying causes, onset, and treatments are fundamentally different. • For instance, Type 1 is an autoimmune condition requiring insulin for survival, while Type 2 is largely preventable and often manageable through lifestyle changes. • At the Erode Diabetes Foundation and MMCH, we specialise in providing comprehensive care for all types of diabetes
