Type 1 diabetes mellitus is mainly caused by the destruction of islet B cells leading to absolute insulin deficiency, while type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused by insulin resistance or endogenous insulin secretion defects, both of which can be characterized by elevated blood glucose.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is mainly due to the destruction of pancreatic islet B cells resulting in an absolute lack of insulin and elevated blood glucose, which is common in adolescents, and treatment is mainly based on insulin injections.Type 1 diabetes mellitus is the result of the absolute insufficiency of insulin secretion due to a variety of factors. Since the islet cells of type 1 diabetes almost lose the function of secreting insulin, they must rely on exogenous insulin for supplementation.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a polygenic hereditary complex disease caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and is commonly found in family genetics, the elderly, obese people, and people with unhealthy lifestyles. It is mainly caused by insulin resistance or endogenous insulin secretion defects. Oral hypoglycemic drugs are preferred for treatment, together with diet control and physical exercise.
With the gradual prolongation of type 2 diabetes mellitus, the function of pancreatic islets declines, and insulin can be applied when necessary. Patients with poor oral drug effects or abnormal liver or kidney function can also apply insulin glucose-lowering treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
After the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, you should standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor, control the blood sugar reasonably, and avoid the development of complications.
