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