Discussing Diabetes
To understand the revolution that DRC’s T1DS Series is stirring, let’s first get a basic grasp of diabetes. Simply put, diabetes is a disease that affects the way our bodies process glucose, a type of sugar that powers our cells.
Types of Diabetes
There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes, our main focus, is typically diagnosed in children and young adults. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Without insulin, glucose can’t enter the cells and builds up in the blood. On the other hand, Type 2 diabetes is more common and is often related to lifestyle factors.
The Importance of Diabetes Management
Managing diabetes is crucial. It involves regular monitoring of blood glucose levels, taking prescribed medications, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It’s like riding a bicycle – you must keep pedaling, balance yourself, and stay on track to reach your destination. If you stop, you risk falling and potentially getting hurt.
