Understanding Diabetes Types 1 & 2
Diabetes is a long-term health issue that influences how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). In diabetes, your body either doesn’t produce sufficient insulin or cannot utilize the insulin it makes effectively, causing elevated blood sugar levels. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to significant health complications.
Categories of Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It often develops in children and young adults and requires lifelong insulin therapy.
Type 2 Diabetes: A disorder where the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin. While more common in adults, it is increasingly seen in younger people due to rising obesity rates. Type 2 diabetes can often be managed and sometimes reversed with lifestyle changes and medication.
Gestational Diabetes: This type occurs during pregnancy and typically resolves after childbirth. However, it increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later.
Symptoms of Diabetes
Typical symptoms include:
- Increased thirst and frequent urination
- Extreme hunger
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue and irritability
- Blurred vision
- Slow-healing sores
- Frequent infections, including those affecting the gums, skin, and vagina
Causes of Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes: The exact cause is unknown, but a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as viral infections, is believed to trigger the immune system to attack insulin-producing cells.
Type 2 Diabetes: This type is caused by a combination of genetic factors and lifestyle choices, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, and obesity. These factors lead to insulin resistance and decreased insulin production over time.
Risks and Complications
Improperly managed diabetes can lead to severe complications, including:
- Cardiovascular Disease: Greater likelihood of developing heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure.
- Neuropathy: Nerve damage, especially in the legs and feet, causing pain, tingling, or loss of sensation.
- Nephropathy: Kidney damage that can lead to kidney failure or the need for dialysis or a transplant.
- Retinopathy: Eye damage that can result in blindness.
- Foot Damage: Poor circulation and nerve damage increase the risk of foot infections and ulcers, sometimes necessitating amputation.
- Skin Conditions: Extremely higher vulnerability to bacterial and fungal infections.
- Hearing Impairment: Higher incidence of hearing problems.
- Alzheimer’s Disease: A higher risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, is associated with Type 2 diabetes.
