The 2 types of Diabetes
There are two types of diabetes type 1 and type 2. Both of them are serious.
But type 1 is more serious there is no doubt about that. When it is detected, the patients are quite sick. They have to come into the hospital and get admitted immediately. Type 1 diabetes is only around 5 % of the total. It generally starts in children and is not the type of diabetes which we generally see. Type 1 diabetes is generally juvenile diabetic or insulin dependent diabetes . It has nothing to do with life style or genetics. we still don't understand why it happens but the body destroys the pancreas. The person will not have insulin in the body. They need insulin for survival and without it they will not be able to live.
Type 2 diabetes is the one which we usually understand and around 95 % of diabetes is type 2. It is more frequently detected and if detected early, the person can live an almost normal life.
