?? Did you know? By 2060, the CDC projects that type 2 diabetes cases in young people would increase by up to 700%, while type 1 cases may rise by 65% if current trends continue. Wondering what Type 1 or Type 2 Diabestes is? We've got you covered! Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks cells that produce insulin in the pancreas, leading to little or no insulin production. This type usually appears in childhood or adolescence and cannot currently be prevented. It can however be managed using insulin therapy, monitoring blood sugar, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Type 2 Diabetes occurs when the body does not use or produce insulin effectively, leading to high blood sugar levels. This type is often linked to lifestyle factors. Prevention includes maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding excessive sugar intake. Small steps today can prevent diabetes tomorrow! #WorldDiabetesDay #BeatDiabetes #CIPH
