Diabetes?

2. Diabetes Type 1
With type 1 diabetes, which starts
in childhood, the pancreas stops
producing insulin. Insulin is a
hormone your body needs to be
able to use the energy -- glucose --
found in food.
• Type 1 diabetes occurs 5 to 10 percent in
persons
• Type 1 diabetes occur in children and
teen
• Type 1 Diabetes may happen in adults
but it will be called latent autoimmune
diabetes or type 1.5

3. Diabetes type 1
• Many diabetes cases are
unknown
• There is a possible chance 1 of
every 10 to get diabetes
• with the age the percent in
diabetes increases
• The people that have high
percent of getting diabetes are
Hispanic. African American,
Native Americans, Asian
• Being overweight can also give
you a percent in getting
diabetes

4. Risk Factors for Type 1
Diabetes
• Genetics and family
history. Having family
members with diabetes is a
major risk factor.
• Diseases of the pancreas.
Injury or diseases of the
pancreas can prevent its ability
to make insulin and lead to type
1 diabetes.
• Infection or illness. A range
of relatively rare infections and
illnesses can damage the
pancreas and cause type 1
diabetes.

6. Diabetes type 1 and 2
Symptoms
• Common symptoms of
diabetes include:
• Excessive thirst and appetite
• Increased urination
(sometimes as often as every
hour)
• Unusual weight loss or gain
• Fatigue
• Nausea, perhaps vomiting

7. Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body
can't use the insulin that's made, a
condition called insulin resistance.
Though it typically starts in adults,
type 2 diabetes can begin at any age.
Because of the current epidemic of
obesity among U.S. children, type 2
diabetes is increasingly found in
teenagers.

8. Diabetes type 2
• Usually type 2
diabetes happen very
slow
• Type 2 diabetes
doesn't’t only effect
over weight people it
also effects thin
people
• This diabetes type
doesn't occur in adult

9. Risk factors for type 2 diabetes
1. Obesity
The number one risk factor for type 2 diabetes is obesity. The National
Center for Health Statistics states that 30% of adults are obese.
2. Family History and Genetics
It appears that people who have family members who have been
diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are at a greater risk for developing it
themselves.
3. Increased Age
The older we get, the greater our risk of type 2 diabetes. Even if an
elderly person is thin, they still may be able to getting diabetes.
4. High Blood Pressure and High Cholesterol
These two bad factors are the hallmark risk factors for many diseases
and conditions, including type 2 diabetes.
5. History of Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes affects about 4% of all pregnant women. It begins
when hormones from the placenta make the mother insulin resistant.
Many women who have gestational diabetes develop type 2 diabetes
years later. Their babies are also at some risk for developing diabetes
later in life.
