Dear Friend,

Perhaps you meant to ask Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.

Type 1 or Insulin Dependent where the patient can survive only with regular injection of insulin as his/her pancreas has lost the ability to secrete insulin. This normally happens in children and is also known as juvenile diabetes. Depending on your age, you can either rule yourself in or out on this. The incidence of Type 1 in India is not high.

Type 2 or Adult onset diabetes is more common in India. While this form of diabetes was common in those over 40 years of age, the current scenario is that people get this even in their early twenties because of the lifestyle. Early detection of this could mean that control can be through proper diet and exercise without any medication. Oral tablets is the next stage followed by insulin.

Wish you the best of health

Badri
