Diabetes There Are Two Types of Diabetes: Type 1 and Type

question 4

Multiple Choice

Diabetes
There are two types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Both types of diabetes can cause a variety of serious health risks if left untreated. Some of these health problems include kidney disease, blindness, heart disease, and strokes.
About 5-10% of people with diabetes have Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes most commonly develops in young people. In Type 1 diabetes, the immune system destroys the cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin. Without insulin, the body's cells cannot absorb glucose, and thus cannot produce energy. Symptoms appear after about 90% of the cells have been destroyed. Although most cases of Type 1 diabetes are genetic, some have arisen in people who have had viral infections of the pancreas.
Most people who have diabetes (90-95%) have type 2 diabetes, which most commonly develops in people over age 40. Type 2 diabetes results from the inability of tissues to respond to insulin-a condition called insulin resistance. As Type 2 diabetes progresses, the pancreas produces less and less insulin, resulting in a condition called insulin deficiency.
There is no cure for either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. However, there are ways to manage both types. For Type 1 diabetes, treatment requires receiving regular insulin injections. Type 2 diabetes can also be treated with insulin injections, but can be also be managed with lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, exercise, and reducing intake of carbohydrates.
