What are some differences between type i diabetes and type ii diabetes?

Type 1:

- Symptoms usually start in childhood or young adulthood. People often seek medical help, because they are seriously ill from sudden symptoms of high blood sugar.

- Episodes of low blood sugar level (hypoglycemia) are common.

- It cannot be prevented.

TYPE 2:

- The person may not have symptoms before diagnosis. Usually the disease is discovered in adulthood, but an increasing number of children are being diagnosed with the disease.

- There are no episodes of low blood sugar level, unless the person is taking insulin or certain diabetes medicines.

- It can be prevented or delayed with a healthy lifestyle, including maintaining a healthy weight, eating sensibly, and exercising regularly.

Hope this helps!!!
