Types of Diabetes

There are two primary types of diabetes:

• Type 1 Diabetes: This form is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The exact cause is unknown but is thought to be genetic and environmental.
• Type 2 Diabetes: This type occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough. It is more common in adults and is often linked to lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and obesity.
• Gestational Diabetes: This form develops during pregnancy and can increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.

Signs of Diabetes

Common signs and symptoms of diabetes include:

• Increased thirst and frequent urination
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue or feeling weak
• Blurred vision
• Slow-healing sores or frequent infections
• Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
