Warning signs of type 1 diabetes named

Once known as juvenile diabetes, this disease can be diagnosed in both children and adults.

A group of foreign endocrinologists said that type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. Its occurrence is connected with the fact that the body's immune system attacks the beta cells of the pancreas, which produce insulin. Due to the war, the iron stops producing insulin, which is necessary for the distribution of sugar. Type 1 diabetics become dependent on insulin from outside.

In addition, having type 1 diabetes means that people with this disease must take into account many factors in order to maintain a stable blood glucose level: for them, control is of great importance food, physical activity, stress.

Explaining the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, experts noted: in type 2 diabetics, the pancreas produces insulin, but the body cannot use it effectively. In type 1 diabetics, the pancreas can produce insulin.

“Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, while type 2 diabetes is almost always caused by lifestyle factors, namely having too much body fat and an unhealthy diet high in processed foods, especially carbohydrates,” the experts said.
