Diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition characterized by problems in insulin function, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. While many are familiar with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, research now identifies five distinct forms:
1๏ธโฃ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ 1 ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐จ
An autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells. Requires lifelong insulin therapy. Triggered by genetic and environmental factors.
2๏ธโฃ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ 2 ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐จ
The most common type, caused by insulin resistance and reduced insulin production. Strongly linked to lifestyle, obesity, and genetics. Managed through diet, exercise, and medication.
3๏ธโฃ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ญ๐๐ฌ
Occurs during pregnancy due to hormonal shifts. Typically resolves after childbirth but increases the motherโs risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later.
4๏ธโฃ ๐๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ญ๐๐ฌ
A rare, inherited form (e.g., MODY and Neonatal Diabetes). Some cases can be controlled without insulin, depending on the specific gene affected.
