Understanding Diabetes
Embarking on a journey with diabetes starts with understanding the condition. Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. It occurs when the pancreas either cannot produce enough insulin (type 1 diabetes) or when the cells in the body become resistant to insulin (type 2 diabetes).
How Insulin Resistance Plays a Role in Diabetes
Insulin resistance is a condition where the body's cells have a reduced response to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. It is a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes. When the cells become insulin resistant, the pancreas produces more insulin to compensate. Managing insulin resistance through lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This results in the body's inability to produce insulin, a hormone necessary for regulating blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes often develops during early life and requires insulin injections or the use of insulin pumps.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. It occurs when the body becomes insulin resistant, meaning the cells are unable to effectively use insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. Management of type 2 diabetes typically involves lifestyle changes, medications, and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels to prevent complications and maintain overall health.
