Diabetes is a disease that affects the pancreas and its ability to produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that regulates glucose levels in the blood. There are two types of diabetes- Type 1 and Type 2. Both types of diabetes increase the risk of developing serious complications.
Insulin is a hormone that the body requires to transport glucose from blood to the cells. Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease that affects the pancreas resulting in little or no insulin. Without this hormone, the blood glucose levels rise dangerously high.
Type 1 Diabetes is not caused by lifestyle factors and cannot be prevented. People who develop this condition need to seek medical advice immediately as it can cause severe complications. Type 1 accounts for 10–15% of all cases of diagnosed diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes occurs due to insulin deficiency and insulin resistance, causing high blood glucose levels. It can often remain undiagnosed for a long time and is detected during a routine urine glucose test or blood test.
Genetics and lifestyle are amongst the most common causes of Type 2 Diabetes. Genetic factors include ethnic background and family history. High blood pressure, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and smoking aggravates the risk.
