Diabetic Symptoms
Diabetes, the life threatening disease that afflicts a growing number of people every year, can be categorized into two major groups-Type 1 and Type 2. Type I, also known as juvenile diabetes, is found in babies at the time of birth. In type 1 diabetes, the patient’s body can no longer produce insulin, thus making him/her dependent on insulin injections for survival. The body’s capacity to produce insulin is destroyed by the immune system of the patient itself by the production of antibodies that destroy the body tissues of the patient. On the other hand, in Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas of the patient still produce insulin but in abnormal quantities. The cells of the body develop a resistance to insulin and the large quantity of insulin produced by the pancreas to meet the deficit is often defective.
