Different Types of Diabetes

There are only two kind of diabetes, such as: type 1 and type 2.

Both kinds of diabetes are extremely injurious to health because it upsets control of blood sugar, or glucose. Glucose is like a fuel for our body cells, but for entering our body cells it needs insulin.

The biggest issue with people suffering with type 1 diabetes is that they do not produce insulin.People suffering with type 2 diabetes have same issues because there is a lack of insulin in their cells as well.

Both kind of diabetes are extremely dangerous and chronic because it raises blood sugar level high.

. Frequent urination
. Feeling very thirsty and drinking a lot of water
. Feeling very hungry

. Cuts or sores that don’t heal properly

People suffering with type 1 diabetes will suffer from anxiety as well, and will also lose lots of weight all in a sudden. On the other hand, people suffering from type 2 diabetes will have a feeling of tingling on their feets and fingers.

That is so obvious that there are a lot of symptoms that are similar of both kinds. There are so many people suffering with type 2 diabetes where symptoms will not occur even after so many years of having it. Type 2 symptoms develops over a period of time and very slowly. Some people who are suffering from type 2 diabetes will not discover their symptoms until it will become extremely severe.

Researchers are still confused that why it fights against body immune cells. Even in today’s era, the research is going on that what are the factors involved in it.

Causes behind Type 2 diabetes:

People with type 2 diabetes do not have any much issues related with insulin. Their body still manages to produce insulin, but it is somehow not able to use it appropriately. Researchers aren’t even sure that why it is happening, but somehow it is said that it is because of lethargic lifestyle, and obese body structure.

Genetics issues and other factors are also part of it. When any one will develop type 2 diabetes, their pancreas will produce more insulin.
