✨ It's Diabetes Discovery Week! ✨ Did you know that Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are both serious conditions, but they have key differences? 🤔
🔹 Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune disease where the body mistakenly attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, usually diagnosed in children or young adults. Insulin therapy is needed for life.
🔹 Type 2 Diabetes: A metabolic disorder where the body doesn't use insulin effectively, often linked to lifestyle factors like diet and activity levels. It can be managed with lifestyle changes, medication, and sometimes insulin.
Both require awareness and care. Let's raise awareness, educate, and support those living with diabetes.
