Diabetes is a chronic disease and one lasts a lifetime while the other type cannot. Type 1 is a genetic disease where it is usually diagnosed as early as childhood. Type 2 diabetes is usually caused by a bad lifestyle such as unhealthy eating habits. This disease in itself just means the body already does not produce enough insulin for the body regardless if it is type 1 or type 2. Studies show that many people may have diabetes but they do not know they have the disease since diabetes develop slowly over time. There are four ways to test for diabetes and they all have to take some sort of bodily fluid to check blood sugar levels. All treatments have the goal of prolonging life, reduce symptoms, and prevent diabetes-related situations from occurring. To manage diabetes, one must take into consideration of learning how to measure one's blood sugar levels, when to eat, what to eat, how to record blood sugar levels, and much more. Diabetes is a drastic change in life because it ultimately affects the lifestyle of anyone who has the disease. More than likely, those with diabetes will have to go for healthier meals and maintain a very healthy lifestyle that involves plenty of exercise and a lot less sugar.
