Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnoses and Treatment

When insulin, a hormone helps the cells to absorb the blood glucose, becomes deficient then the body cells are not able to absorb the glucose from the blood.

This results in the accumulation of glucose in the blood.

Diabetes is classified into these types:

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) – The pancreatic cells are not able to produce insulin, which leads to an increase in blood glucose level.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) – Glucose absorbing cells become resistant to insulin, or pancreatic cells do not make sufficient insulin, which causes an increase in blood glucose levels.

It can develop in a person of any age but mostly occurs in people >45 years of age.
