Understanding diabetes
There are various types of diabetes but let us explain some of the major types of
diabetes
Â
Type 1-
The immune system of the body destroys the beta cells in the pancreas which
generate insulin in type 1 diabetes, which is an autoimmune condition. Blood glucose levels
increase because glucose, or sugar, is unable to reach cells where it can be used as fuel
without insulin. Some of the common symptoms of Type 1 diabetes are Frequent urination,
Excessive thirst, Extreme hunger, Unexplained weight loss, Fatigue and weakness, Blurred
vision, Irritability and mood changes and many others. There are various causes of Type1
Diabetes such as genetic factors, environment factors and various other factors.
Â
Type 2-
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic illness that affects how the body processes blood sugar
(glucose). Insulin resistance and a relative insulin deficit are the main characteristics of type 2
diabetes, in contrast to type 1 diabetes, in which the body attacks cells that produce insulin.
Some of the common symptoms of Type 2 diabetes are increased thirst and hunger, frequent
urination, unexplained weight loss, Fatigue and weakness, Blurred vision, Slow-healing sores or
frequent infections, Darkened areas of skin usually in the armpits and neck.
Â
Gestational diabetes-Â Â
Another kind of diabetes that appears during pregnancy is called gestational diabetes. It alters the way your body utilizes glucose, or sugar, which results in increased blood sugar levels. Usually, this problem goes away after giving birth to a child, but to protect the mother’s and the unborn child’s health during pregnancy, it needs to be carefully managed. Gestational diabetes often does not cause noticeable symptoms. It is usually diagnosed through prenatal screening tests. It can be cured with healthy eating, Physical activity, Insulin therapy, Delivery and postpartum care.
