Teach you how to tell the type of diabetes

Under normal circumstances, through the onset age at the time could know is suffering from type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. But in some cases diagnosis is not so obvious that many aspects need to be considered can be integrated to determine their own particular type belongs to. Distinguish between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, for the future treatment of important guiding significance.

Specific analysis:

(1) Age: The majority of type 1 diabetes incidence under 40 years old, 20 years of age the vast majority of adolescents and children with type 1 diabetes, only a very few exceptions; 2 diabetes are mostly the elderly aged over 40 , over 50 years of people suffering from type 1 diabetes rarely. In short, the younger, the easier it is to type 1 diabetes; older, the easier it is to type 2 diabetes.

(2) The onset of weight: Diabetes occurs when the clear majority of those who are overweight or obese type 2 diabetes, obesity more obvious, the more prone to type 2 diabetes mellitus; people with type 1 diabetes onset before the weight is mostly normal or low. Whether type 1 or type 2 diabetes, after the onset of body weight can be reduced to varying degrees, while type 1 diabetes tend to have significant weight loss.

(3) Clinical symptoms: type 1 diabetes have shown clinical symptoms such as polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia and so on, that is, "more than 3", and type 2 diabetes often do not have the typical "over three" symptoms. A large number of type 2 diabetes, because of clinical symptoms was not obvious, it is often difficult to determine when the onset, and some only checking blood glucose after suffering from diabetes know. Type 1 diabetes more prominent because of clinical symptoms, Gu Chang can be pointed out clearly that their onset time.

(4) acute or chronic complications: a type 2 diabetes can occur with a variety of acute and chronic complications, but there are some differences in the types of complications. In terms of the acute complications of type 1 diabetes mellitus prone to ketoacidosis, type 2 diabetes less common ketoacidosis, but the older persons prone to non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma. In terms of the chronic complications of type 1 diabetes complicated by retinal diseases easily, kidney disease and nerve lesions, occurred heart, brain, kidney or limb vascular atherosclerotic lesions are rare, while type 2 diabetes can occur with type 1 among Diabetic retinopathy the same fundus, kidney disease and nerve disease, the heart, brain and renal vascular lesions in the incidence of arteriosclerosis higher with hypertension are also common. Therefore, occurrence of type 2 diabetes with coronary heart disease and cerebral vascular accidents far more than type 1 diabetes, and this is a very obvious differences.

(5) clinical treatment: type 1 diabetes, insulin injections can only control high blood sugar, stable disease, oral hypoglycemic agents in general is invalid. Type 2 diabetes through a rational and proper diet control and treatment of oral hypoglycemic agents can obtain a certain effect, of course, when the treatment failure of oral hypoglycemic agents, insulin B-cell function tends to failure or severe acute and chronic complications, are also indications of insulin.
