Welcome to our next series! Get to know the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.

Part 1️⃣ Definitions
Let’s start with the basics 👇
Type 1 Diabetes is autoimmune — your body stops making insulin.
Type 2 Diabetes is metabolic — your body is resistant to or doesn’t make enough insulin.

Both lead to high blood sugar, but for very different reasons.
Understanding the difference is the first step to taking control. 💪

💧 Think dehydration is just thirst? Think again! 💧
When fluids drop, your body slows down—brain fog, fatigue, cramps, bad breath… even sweet cravings! 😵💫

Water alone isn’t enough. Our electrolytes restore lost minerals, improve hydration, and keep you energized 💪⚡ Stay hydrated. Stay unstoppable. 💙

Other Rare Types of Diabetes 🌟 include:

• Cystic Fibrosis-Related Diabetes (CFRD) 🫁 — from pancreatic damage in cystic fibrosis.
• Drug-Induced Diabetes 💊 — triggered by certain medications like antipsychotics or immunosuppressants.
• Post-Transplant Diabetes (PTDM) 🏥 — develops after organ transplants due to immunosuppressive therapy.

Each type needs tailored management, early detection, and education to prevent complications. ⚡

Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) 💉 — often called Type 1.5 Diabetes — is a slow-developing autoimmune form that appears in adulthood. 👩‍🦳

It starts like Type 2 but gradually progresses as the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells. ⚡

Many manage it first with healthy habits and tablets 🥗💊, but over time, insulin becomes necessary. 🌿

Secondary Diabetes 🩺 develops as a result of another condition — not on its own. It happens when diseases like pancreatitis or Cushing’s syndrome, or certain medications 💊, affect how the pancreas makes insulin.

Treatment focuses on managing both the root cause and blood sugar levels to keep things in balance. ⚖️💉

Monogenic Diabetes 🧬 is a rare form caused by a single gene mutation — often mistaken for Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes. 💉

It includes MODY (appearing in teens or young adults) and Neonatal Diabetes, which develops in the first months of life 👶.

Treatment depends on the gene involved and may include medication, insulin, or lifestyle changes. 🌿

Prediabetes ⚠️ is when blood sugar levels are higher than normal — but not yet in the diabetes range. It’s your body’s early warning sign! 🚨

Often symptom-free, it’s linked to the same lifestyle and genetic factors as Type 2 Diabetes. 💉 The great news? With healthy eating 🥗, regular exercise 🏃‍♀️, and weight balance ⚖️, you can stop it in its tracks. 💪

Gestational Diabetes 🤰 develops during pregnancy when the body can’t make enough insulin to meet increased needs. 💉

It usually appears in the 2nd or 3rd trimester and is linked to hormonal changes and factors like obesity or family history. 🌿

While it often disappears after birth 👶, it raises the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes later — for both mom and baby. ❤️

30/10/2025

Type 2 Diabetes 💉 is the most common form — when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t make enough of it. ⚡ It’s often linked to lifestyle factors like poor diet, inactivity, and excess weight, though genetics can also play a role.

It develops slowly and can go unnoticed at first 👀. The good news? With healthy habits, exercise, and the right treatment, it’s manageable — and sometimes even reversible! 💪

Type 1 Diabetes 💉 is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks the cells that make insulin — leaving little to none produced. ⚡ It often starts in childhood or adolescence, but can appear at any age.

Because the body can’t make insulin, lifelong insulin therapy is needed 💊 along with regular blood sugar monitoring.

Common signs include thirst 🥤, frequent urination 🚻, fatigue 😴, and weight loss ⚖️.

Type 2 Diabetes 💉 is a chronic condition where the body resists insulin or doesn’t make enough of it — causing high blood sugar. ⚡ It often develops slowly and is linked to lifestyle, but genetics can play a part too.

The good news? 🌟 With the right habits, monitoring, and treatment, it can be managed — and sometimes even reversed! 💪
