The first type of diabetes is Type 1. There are two types, Types 1 and 2. The Type 1 is sometimes known as Juvenile Diabetes because it oftentimes occurs early in a person’s life. It is caused by the fact that, for some reason, the body is unable to produce a sufficient quantity of insulin. To provide cells (including muscle) with glucose and sustenance that they need, the main function of circulating hormone ‘insulin’ is to move sugars from the blood circulation into these tissues (such as muscle and brain etc). The insufficient insulin level which occurs in Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system, destroying whatever cells are producing insulin (located in your pancreas). The cells that are used to create the insulin are actually named beta cells, located in the pancreas. If the sugar remains in your circulation, rather than moving into your cells (such as muscles), the ill consequences will develop in diabetes.
The second type of diabetes (Type 2 diabetes), represents a different metabolic disorder caused by the fact that, like Type 1 diabetes, the body is not able to produce enough (or even use) insulin. This is the diabetes with the greatest frequency, comprising roughly 90% of the diabetes population. Diabetes is not a condition which develops overnight, but takes a long long time, and is usually observed in adults. This is the reason you should take routine (12 monthly or so) diabetes examinations! You could be suffering from a low-level type of diabetes (called prediabetes which eventually leads to full blown Type 2 Diabetes and you do not even know it, and if you leave it untreated, it will develop into Diabetes 2, which is the last and most serious form of diabetes. As a final resort, insulin is only given to individuals if initially, alterations in your diet, lifestyle and some weight loss doesn’t work.
