Medical Health Care Advices

There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes cause blood sugar levels are higher than normal. However, both can cause this effect in different ways. Type 1 diabetes (formerly called insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes) occurs when the pancreas loses its ability to produce the hormone insulin. With type 1 diabetes the same person’s immune system attacks and destroys cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Once those cells are destroyed, never again to produce insulin.

Although nobody knows for certain causes, scientists think it has something to do with genes. But genes do not generally have sufficient reason to have diabetes. Probably a person must have to be exposed to something else, a virus, for example-and type 1 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes can be prevented and there is no practical way to predict who will gain. There is nothing that the parent or the child had done to cause the disease. Once a person gets type 1 diabetes, the disease does not go away and requires long life treatment. Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes depend on daily insulin injections or an insulin pump to control levels of blood glucose.
