Emphatically, diabetes occur in all ages. From young, infant to the old . But the greatest incidence of diabetes occur in the middle or older age person. It is estimated that over 80 to 85 % of people with diabetes mellitus are over 45 years of age or older.

After my explanation of diabetes mellitus and who diabetes affect most, base on age bracket. Let's have a brief study of types of diabetes.

In this ongoing tutorial, I will focus on three types of diabetes base on research by medical doctors.

Three types of diabetes

1. Type 1 diabetes
This type of diabetes occur when the beta cell of the pancreas is being attacked and killed by the immune system. At that period no insulin or very little insulin is release in the body. Therefore,  type 1 diabetes occurs  as a result of lack of insulin or little insulin in the body, sugar build up in the body instead of being used by the body as energy. Statistically, about 10% of diabetes mellitus patient suffer from diabetes type 1. Studies has shown that type 1 diabetes usually developed at childhood, adolescence or adulthood sometimes.

The best method to treat type 1 diabetes is with insulin. Another recommended way is by strategically spacing and planning meals to keep regulating the sugar level. continue @ www.anctherapist.com
