Difference: Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

KDAH

Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes differ in causes, symptom onset, and treatment approaches. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells, leaving the body unable to produce insulin. In contrast, Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or the insulin it produces doesn’t work effectively. Understanding these differences is key to managing diabetes effectively. Whether you or a loved one is navigating Type 1 or Type 2, staying informed and proactive is essential. With the right knowledge, support, and lifestyle choices, you can lead a healthy, fulfilling life. #DiabetesAwareness #HealthAwareness
