Type 1 is autoimmune disease
- occurs before age 30
- no insulin production
- symptoms: polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia
-treatment: insulin
Type 2
- occurs after age 30
- insulin is present
- symptoms: sometimes seen with polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia
- treatment: diet, oral hypoglycemics or insulin
leads to long term problems such as stroke, neuropathy, gangrene, atherosclerosis, nephropathy, retinopathy, gastroparesis, glaucoma, and more due to not enough sugars to cells :(
