The first is that people who are prone to diabetes are different in age. The main population susceptible to 1 type diabetes is teenagers, such as people in their twenties and thirties. When their blood sugar rises, they will have some symptoms. The most obvious thing is to drink more, eat more and urinate more, and lose weight, leading to symptoms of "three more and one less".
The main population of type 2 diabetes is middle-aged and elderly people, most of whom are over 40 years old. Only when they actually have no symptoms, do they go to the hospital for a physical examination and find that their blood sugar has increased.
At this time, you need to control your blood sugar according to the doctor's advice, and then you realize that you have diabetes. If their blood sugar is well controlled, they are not prone to some complications.
The pathogenesis of these two types of diabetes is different. The main pathogenesis of 1 type diabetes mellitus is insulin deficiency in human body, which may have genetic factors or other reasons.
The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes is mainly caused by insufficient insulin secretion or insulin resistance. So this is why it is divided into heterosexual diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Although our usual treatment methods are the same, for 1 type diabetes, taking medicine can not control blood sugar, but only by taking insulin.
In addition to insulin, type 2 diabetes can also take some hypoglycemic drugs to control blood sugar. No matter what method, it is most important for patients to control their diet.
