This happens when your beta cells become less responsive to insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, and stop accepting glucose for energy production. As a result, sugar accumulates in your bloodstream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two types of diabetes based on the root cause are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Type 1 Diabetes: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an autoimmune condition, often present from an early age when you\u2019re a child, where the body attacks insulin-producing cells.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Type 2 Diabetes: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is more common and usually linked to lifestyle factors like poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and excess weight.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s one more type called gestational diabetes. This is only temporary and occurs during pregnancy, usually going away after childbirth. However, its presence can increase future risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Early_Symptoms_You_Shouldnt_Ignore\"><\/span><strong>Early Symptoms You Shouldn\u2019t Ignore<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem with this sneaky disorder is that its initial symptoms are not too obvious and may overlap with other health issues. Here\u2019s what to keep an eye on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling too thirsty even after drinking enough water<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hungry even after meals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urge to urinate too frequently<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden weight loss or gain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blurry vision<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wounds and cuts are taking unusually longer to heal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatigue that doesn\u2019t go away<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may miss noticing these symptoms at first, as they may seem harmless.
