Type 1 vs Type 2 Diabetes
Both types of diabetes are chronic diseases that affect the way your body regulates blood glucose (sugar). Glucose is the fuel that feeds your body’s cells, but to enter your cells it needs a key. Insulin is that key.
Type 1 Diabetes means that your body is not producing enough insulin, whereas patients with Type 2 Diabetes don’t respond to insulin as well as they should, and in later stages don’t produce enough insulin.
Causes of Type 2 Diabetes
Being overweight or obese - obesity numbers are annually increasing amongst children and adolescents
High carbohydrate diet - regularly consuming sugary juices, fizzy drinks and candy
Sedentary lifestyle – less activity and more screen time
Genetic predisposition – even though Type 2 Diabetes is mainly caused by unhealthy lifestyle habits, genetics can put us at a higher risk
