summary

History of diabetes is a common disease in our life. It is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia. The history of hyperglycemia is caused by insulin secretion defect or other biological damage. If diabetes is not treated for a long time, it will lead to different degrees of chronic damage and dysfunction of various tissues. At present, diabetes can be divided into two types: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Let's talk about the symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes

First of all, type 1 diabetes is caused by human genetic defects, which can not produce enough insulin independently. Lack of insulin can not make cells store excess blood sugar. After suffering from type 1 diabetes, the human body will have the phenomenon of hyperglycemia. Type 2 diabetes is acquired insulin resistance, the body's insulin secretion is normal, but the insulin receptor can not work normally, resulting in the phenomenon of hyperglycemia.

The symptoms of patients with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are also different. When type 1 diabetes has severe hyperglycemia, there will be typical "three more and less" symptoms, including excessive drinking, urination, eating and weight loss. This symptom is more obvious when ketosis or ketoacidosis occurs. Patients with type 2 diabetes will appear fatigue, obesity, thirst and other symptoms.

Patients with type 1 diabetes are about 30 years old, with more than three, less symptoms, high blood sugar level, and no effect on oral medicine alone, so insulin treatment is needed. Type 2 diabetes is common in middle-aged and elderly people. The incidence rate of obesity is high. There are no symptoms at the early stage, or some cases will appear mild fatigue, thirst, serum insulin level is normal or higher in early stage, and lower in late stage.

matters needing attention

The patients with type 1 diabetes had better inject insulin on time and take good care of their body and mind. The patients with type 2 diabetes should take more exercise, pay attention to diet and daily life, and improve their immunity.
