Answers:
The World Health Organization recognizes three main forms of diabetes mellitus: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes (occurring during pregnancy), which have different causes and population distributions!. While, ultimately, all forms are due to the beta cells of the pancreas being unable to produce sufficient insulin to prevent hyperglycemia, the causes are different!. Type 1 diabetes is usually due to autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic beta cells!. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance in target tissues!. This causes a need for abnormally high amounts of insulin and diabetes develops when the beta cells cannot meet this demand!. Gestational diabetes is similar to type 2 diabetes in that it involves insulin resistance; the hormones of pregnancy can cause insulin resistance in women genetically predisposed to developing this condition!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Type 2 (95% of the time) is when you eat so many carbs and get so fat that two things happen
a)your pancreas works so hard to keep up with all the excess carbs you're pouring into your body that it wears itself out and can't produce enough insulin for your carb intake, and
b) your cells become resistant to what insulin your pancreas can make, so sugar builds up in the blood!.
This can be cured through weight loss (which is acheived by eating less carbs)
The other 5% is when the pancreas just gets old and gives out!.
Type 1 is when something is wrong genetically and the immune system attacks the pancreas and there is no insulin production!. Ever!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
