Introduction: What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease in which the body cannot produce or properly use insulin. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder that usually appears during childhood, while type 2 diabetes usually appears later in life and is often related to lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise.
Type 1 diabetes develops when the pancreas produces little or no insulin because it has been attacked by the body's own immune system (autoimmune disease). People with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin every day, either through injections or an insulin pump, in order to stay alive. Type 2 diabetes can be managed through changes in diet, exercise, and sometimes oral medications or insulin injections.
What are the Symptoms of Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that is caused by high levels of sugar in the blood. This can happen when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot use insulin properly.
Type 1 Diabetes: Symptoms of type 1 diabetes may include excessive thirst, weight loss, frequent urination and increased hunger. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks and destroys beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.
Type 2 Diabetes: Symptoms of type 2 diabetes may include weight gain, blurred vision, tingling hands and feet and slow healing wounds. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder where your body becomes resistant to insulin because it does not produce enough or has become unresponsive to it.

Conclusion: The Benefits and Risks of Different Types of Diabetes Treatments
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the body's ability to produce or respond to insulin.
Type 1 diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes the pancreas to stop producing insulin. It usually starts in childhood or adolescence and may be caused by genetics, environmental factors, or a virus.
Type 2 diabetes: Type 2 diabetes is caused by cells not responding properly to insulin or not producing enough insulin. It usually starts in adulthood and may be caused by genetics, environmental factors, weight gain, aging, pregnancy, certain medications, lack of physical activity.
Insulin treatment: Insulin can be taken as injections (shots) with a needle and syringe or using an insulin pump worn outside the body.
Oral medications: Oral medications are taken by mouth and can lower blood sugar levels. They are often used along with other treatments like diet and exercise for type 2 diabetes.
