Nakita.id – How to find out type 1 and 2 diabetes very important to know by everyone.
Some people may still be confused about type 1 and 2 diabetes.
For this reason, it is important to know so that you can get the right treatment and care.
Diabetes certainly cannot be ignored.
In fact, this disease can cause a number of complications if not controlled properly.
So do not be surprised if diabetes is increasingly becoming a concern, because the number of sufferers continues to grow.
This is evidenced by the WHO, there are around 150 million people who have diabetes in all parts of the world.
It is important to know that diabetes is caused by the failure of pancreatic cells to produce insulin.
Whereas the insulin hormone produced by the pancreas functions in regulating the use of sugar for the activity of cells in the human body.
Well, if insulin is inadequate, it will cause blood sugar levels to tend to be high.
In terms of diabetes, this happens continuously, and can cause damage to the walls of blood vessels and lead to complications in various important organs in the body such as coronary heart disease, stroke, obesity, and disorders of the eyes, kidneys, and nerves.
Also know, diabetes can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels in the body.
This can result in a sudden drop (hypoglycemia) or increase in blood sugar (hyperglycemia).
Both are dangerous for diabetics, even at risk of death.
To note, there are 2 diabetes type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the patient’s immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing pancreatic cells.
This results in an increase in blood glucose levels, resulting in damage to the body’s organs.

Type 1 diabetes is at risk for those who;
* Have a family history of type 1 diabetes
* Suffering from a viral infection
* Light skinned people are thought to be more prone to type 1 diabetes than other races
* Type 1 diabetes occurs at the age of 4-7 years and 10-14 years, although type 1 diabetes can appear at any age.
Type 2 Diabetes
While type 2 diabetes is the type of diabetes that occurs more often.
This type of diabetes is caused by the body’s cells becoming less sensitive to insulin, so that the insulin produced cannot be used properly.
Type 2 diabetes is at risk for those who;
* Overweight
* Have a family history of type 2 diabetes
* Less active.
You know, this physical activity helps control weight, burns glucose for energy, and makes the body’s cells more sensitive to insulin.
So, if you are less active, you can get type 2 diabetes more easily.
* Increasing age.
* Suffering from high blood pressure.
* Have abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. A person who has low levels of good cholesterol or HDL and high triglyceride levels is more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
