Type 1 diabetes:

In type 1 diabetes your body is the enemy of your insulin your immune system destroys insulin and makes cells in your pancreas, these cells are called beta cells. Type one mostly occurs in infants’ children and young adults it can be confused with type 2 diabetes because most doctors get confused about whether it is type 1 or type 2.

If we talk about children, a child who is not wetting his bed but suddenly has a large intake of water and other fluids and making their bed wet, welcome to type 1 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes:

Type 2 diabetes also known as insulin resistance is due to obesity or hormonal changes and inactive life can be the reason for type 2 diabetes. Kids can also get affected but in most cases, it is diagnosed in Asians at the age of 25-45, or you might have a family history such as one of your parents being diabetic. It’s more common in people who are American Indian, Asian American Pacific Islander, or African American. If you are not physically active and have high blood pressure you have a high chance of getting type 2 diabetes.        

Gestational diabetes:  It is directly related to pregnant women. During pregnancy, your placenta release a hormone that builds up glucose in your bloodstream usually your placenta can release enough insulin to cover it but if your body can not produce as much insulin to handle or your body stops using pancreas insulin you can be a patient of gestational diabetes. it affects 30% of the women in Asian countries it occurs in non-diabetic women who never had a diabetes history.

This term can be divided into two classifications:

A1: it can manage through exercise and diet

A2:  cannot control with diet and exercise rather than you to take medicines and inject insulin

Gestational diabetes disappears after giving birth but can affect your baby's health. You need to check it at the 24^th week of pregnancy for the safety of your child.
