4. Type 1 diabetes

5. Here, the immune system of the body
assaults and destroys cells producing
insulin – the hormone that helps
breakdown glucose in the
bloodstream. As insulin is not
produced, blood sugar level rises,
and this can utterly destroy your
body’s organs.

8. Type 1 diabetes is able to develop
rapidly between several days and
several weeks. It can occur at any
age but mostly appears during
childhood and teenage years. The
insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes is
also referred to as early-onset
diabetes or juvenile diabetes as it
commonly occurs before the sufferer
hits age 40 and mostly during the
teen years.

producing sufficient insulin, or the
cells fail to react to insulin (insulin

13. Most people would already be
having type 2 diabetes for a long
time before they know it since the
early signs and symptoms are

more common of the two and can
occur at any age. It is at times
called maturity-onset diabetes
since it is more commonly found
in older persons aged 40 and

even more persons have blood
glucose levels higher than normal,
but not sufficiently high to be
considered as having diabetes. Such
a condition is called prediabetes.
When your blood glucose/sugar level
is higher than normal, then you’re at
a higher risk of developing full-on
diabetes.
