How to Control Diabetes Type 1 and Type 2

Diabetes is a very dangerous disease all over the world. Diabetes grows very fast because in 1980 the Diabetes patients all over the world 108 Million and in the new survey in 2014 these patients grow to 423 Million.

The global impact of diabetes on adults over the age of 18 has increased from 4.7% in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014.

Between 2000 and 2016, there was a 5% increase in premature deaths from diabetes

The prevalence of diabetes is growing faster in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries.

Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, and lower limb deficiency.

In 2016, there were an estimated 1.6 million deaths due to diabetes. Another 2.2 million deaths in 2012 were caused by blood glucose.

About half of all high blood glucose deaths occur before the age of 70. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in 2016, according to the WHO.



What is type 1 diabetes?


Type 1 diabetes is a condition in which your immune system kills insulin-producing cells in your pancreas. They are called beta cells. The condition is most commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents, so it was called adolescent diabetes.

A condition called secondary diabetes is similar to type 1 diabetes, but your son's cells are destroyed by something other than the immune system, such as a disease or an injury to your pancreas.

Both are different from type 2 diabetes, in that your body does not respond to insulin the way it should.


Symptoms of type 1 diabetes


Signs are often fine, but they can be severe. These include:
  • Very thirsty

  • The increased appetite (especially after meals)

  • Dry mouth

  • Upset stomach and vomiting

  • Frequent urination

  • Unknown weight loss, even if you are eating and feeling hungry

  • Fatigue

  • Blurred vision

  • Heavy, labor-intensive breathing (your doctor may call it cosmic breathing)

  • Frequent infections of your skin, urinary tract, or vagina

  • Crankpin or mood changes

  • Bedding in a child who is dry at night.




Emergency symptoms of type 1 diabetes include

  • Shaking and confusion

  • Fast breathing

  • The fruit smells in your breath

  • Stomach pain

  • Loss of consciousness (rare)



Type 2 Diabetes 



Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong disease that prevents your body from using insulin the way it should. People with type 2 diabetes are said to be more resistant to insulin.

People who are middle-aged or older are more likely to have this type of diabetes, so it was called adult diabetes. But type 2 diabetes also affects children and adolescents, mainly due to childhood obesity.

This is the most common type of diabetes. There are about 29 million people with type 2 in the United States. Another 84 million people have a predisposing disease, meaning they have high blood sugar (or blood glucose) but not high enough to develop diabetes.

Signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes

The symptoms of type 2 diabetes can be so mild that you do not notice them. About 8 million people don't know it. Symptoms include:
  • Being very thirsty
  • Urinating a lot
  • Blurred vision
  • Get mad
  • Tangling or numbness in your hands or feet
  • Fatigue/loss of feeling
  • Wounds that do not heal
  • Yeast infections that keep coming back
  • Hunger
  • Lose weight without trying
  • There is more infection
  • Darkness around your throat or armpits (called acanthosis nuclei) which is often a sign of insulin resistance.
