Many people know that there is a difference between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, but I'm not sure what the difference is. Others may not know that in addition to type I and type II diabetes, there are several other types of diabetes, and some diseases can mimic diabetes but are not "real".

Here are some ideas and tips on how to understand the differences between different types of diabetes.
I type
Type I, also known as juvenile diabetes, usually occurs in people under 25 years of age. Usually, due to autoimmune problems (the body attacks its pancreatic cells), the pancreas is disabled and can no longer produce insulin. The first category tends to play in the family and affect the rest of his life. People with diabetes will need insulin and other drugs throughout their lives.
Second category
This type of diabetes usually develops later. The symptoms are similar to type I. These are excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, frequent urination, fatigue, and numbness of the limbs. However, unlike Type I, Type II can be controlled by diet and exercise, especially if caught early. Some sources have not really "disappeared", but the severity is different.
Patients with type II diabetes usually have a normal pancreatic function. It just cannot produce enough insulin, or the insulin it produces is not processed or recognized by the body (insulin resistance).
Diabetes
All the above types are a kind of diabetes. This is a disease that most people think of when they hear the word "diabetes".
Diabetes insipidus
This is a disease many people have never heard of. Although they have the same name and certain symptoms (such as frequent urination and thirst), diabetes insipidus is completely different from diabetes.
Diabetes insipidus is mainly a kidney disease, usually related to the pituitary gland. These glands produce two hormones. One is a hormone (antidiuretic hormone), which stimulates the kidneys to produce more urine (a diuretic hormone), and the other is to "block" the production of urine. In diabetes insipidus, the kidneys stop responding to this hormone, or there is a problem with the pituitary gland and the hormone secretion is abnormal.
Modi
MODY (adult diabetes in young people) is often confused with type I or type II diabetes. But not two. Sometimes called "Type 1.5". It is said that MODY is caused by a single mutant gene that can be passed from parent to child. MODY itself has varying degrees of severity. MODY 1 and 3 may require insulin, sometimes only in oral form, while MODY 2 does not require any form of insulin.
