Understanding the Types and Symptoms of Diabetes

World Diabetes Day 2023 highlights the different types of diabetes, including Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells, while Type 2 is linked to lifestyle factors and insulin resistance. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and is diagnosed through routine screening. Symptoms vary for each type, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, and slow wound healing.
