Type Of Diabetes
Risk factors A family history of the diabetes increases risk for next generations. Diabetes can happen in people of every society, but it's most common among whites. Half of type 1 diabetics are under the age of 20. Being age 20 or younger increases the risk.
What causes it? Most of the children, whose parents are diabetics, do not suffer from this disease, but scientists still believe that heredity plays a big role in Type 1 diabetes because it tends to run in families. Researchers have researched on several genes that appear to increase risk of type 1 diabetes. But they haven't got a single gene that causes diabetes. Type 1 diabetes has many hallmarks of an auto-immune condition. In auto-immune diseases, the immune system, this protects from disease by killing invading germs. In the case of type 1 diabetes, the immune system kills the cells in the pancreas that produces insulin. Type 1 diabetes often occurs shortly after a viral infection, and doctors sometimes notice a sharp jump in type 1 diabetes diagnoses after viral epidemics.
Type 2 Approximately 95 % of diabetics suffer with type 2 diabetes which is also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or NIDDM. Type 2 Diabetics produces insulin, but the cells in their bodies are "insulin resistant" they can't respond properly to the hormone, so glucose is accumulated in their blood.
