Diabetes Types and Treatment
- Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is typically diagnosed during childhood or young adulthood.
- Symptoms of type 1 diabetes include polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria, weight loss, and fatigue due to hyperglycemia and breakdown of body fats.
- Insulin injections, diet, exercise, and blood glucose monitoring are essential in treating type 1 diabetes.
- Hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes can result from factors such as an improper insulin regimen, dietary omission, or excessive physical activity.
- Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) can occur as a complication of type 1 diabetes due to insulin deficiency, leading to symptoms such as dehydration and Kussmaul’s respiration.
- Type 2 diabetes, which is non-insulin dependent, affects approximately 85% to 90% of all diabetics and is more common in individuals over 40 and overweight.
- Symptoms of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes include polydipsia, polyuria, fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing wounds, dry, itchy skin, and numbness in the feet.
- Treatment for type 2 diabetes involves a carefully planned diet, exercise program, oral medication, and insulin as necessary.
- Diet control, weight management, and exercise are crucial in regulating type 2 diabetes.
- Type 2 diabetes is treated with oral antidiabetic drugs, including sulfonylureas, biguanides, thiazolidinediones, and others, as well as combination therapy with certain inhibitors and blockers.
- Monitoring blood glucose levels is essential for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes management.
