Diabetes is an ongoing condition that alters the way your body handles blood sugar (glucose). Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational Diabetes are the three most common diabetes types, each having their own set of origins, symptoms, and treatment choices.
Type 1 Diabetes develops when the immune system targets and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This kind is commonly diagnosed in youngsters and young adults, necessitating lifetime insulin therapy.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common type and normally develops in adults, while it is becoming more prevalent in younger populations due to lifestyle factors. In this case, the body either becomes resistant to insulin or produces insufficient amounts. Type 2 diabetes is managed with lifestyle changes, medication, and, on occasion, insulin.
Gestational diabetes develops throughout pregnancy and usually resolves after childbirth. However, it raises the chance of getting type 2 diabetes later in life.
