what are cause of diabetes's
1. Type 1 Diabetes
Cause: Autoimmune reaction where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
Risk Factors:
Genetics: Family history of Type 1 diabetes.
Environmental factors: Possible viral infections or other triggers that initiate the autoimmune response.
Age: Typically develops in childhood or adolescence but can occur at any age.
2. Type 2 Diabetes
Cause: The body either becomes resistant to insulin (insulin resistance) or the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin.
Risk Factors:
Obesity: Excess body weight, especially around the abdomen, is a major risk factor.
Physical inactivity: Lack of exercise can contribute to insulin resistance.
Unhealthy diet: High intake of refined sugars and processed foods can increase the risk.
Genetics: Family history of Type 2 diabetes increases susceptibility.
Age: Typically develops in people over 45, but younger cases are increasing.
Ethnicity: Higher risk in certain ethnic groups (e.g., African Americans, Hispanics, Asians).
Gestational diabetes: A history of diabetes during pregnancy raises the risk.
