The Differences Between Type 1 And Type Two Diabetes by Nnekalora68(f): 10:49am On Mar 20
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 DIABETES.

Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are two different forms of diabetes with distinct characteristics. Here are the key differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes:

1. Cause:
- Type 1 diabetes: It is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The exact cause of this autoimmune response is not fully understood.
- Type 2 diabetes: It is primarily caused by a combination of genetic factors and lifestyle choices, such as poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and lack of physical activity. Insulin resistance and reduced insulin production are common features of Type 2 diabetes.

2. Age of Onset:
- Type 1 diabetes: It often develops in childhood or adolescence, but it can occur at any age.
- Type 2 diabetes: It typically develops in adulthood, although it has become increasingly common in children and adolescents due to rising obesity rates.

3. Insulin Production:
- Type 1 diabetes: People with Type 1 diabetes have little to no insulin production as their immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells. Insulin replacement through injections or an insulin pump is necessary.
- Type 2 diabetes: Initially, people with Type 2 diabetes produce insulin, but their bodies become resistant to its effects. Over time, the pancreas may produce less insulin. Management may involve lifestyle changes, oral medications, and, in some cases, insulin therapy.

4. Treatment Approach:
- Type 1 diabetes: Insulin therapy is the primary treatment for Type 1 diabetes. Individuals must carefully monitor their blood sugar levels and administer insulin multiple times a day to maintain proper glucose control.
- Type 2 diabetes: Treatment approaches for Type 2 diabetes include lifestyle modifications (diet and exercise), oral medications to improve insulin sensitivity or stimulate insulin production, and, in some cases, insulin therapy.

5. Prevalence:
- Type 1 diabetes: It accounts for a smaller percentage (around 5-10%) of all diabetes cases.
- Type 2 diabetes: It is the most common form of diabetes, accounting for the majority of diabetes cases worldwide.

It's important to note that these are general differences, and individual experiences may vary. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and management of diabetes.
