Diabetes Melitus Type 2

Hey guys !
Hope you're  well. So what's been going on in Mauritius recently about diabetes.Well, as a matter of fact The Rotary Club of Flacq hosted a campaign about the prevention of Diabetes in Youngsters on Saturday !
I have to say , I am extremely impressed by the amount of time and energy that the Rotary Club of Mauritius is putting.
However , they said that raising awareness is never enough ! which is genuinely true -

So today I am going to blog about , Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
Simple video explaining what Diabetes Type 2 is

Type 2 occurs :

•  usually after childhood 
• It's when target cells become insensitive to insulin 
• Insulin injections are not needed 
• Low carbohydrate diets usually control the condition

Diabetes Type 1

What is diabetes mellitus  ? 
It is the inefficient control of blood glucose where the concentration can rise or fall beyond the normal limits.
There are 2 types of conditions :
Type 1 Diabetes  and Type 2 Diabetes
So, Today I  thought about explaining to you what diabetes Type 1 is
Type 1 :   usually happens during childhood
               beta cells  produce insufficient insulin.               To control the glucose level , we then use injections.Ouch !

I think that the an animated video will give you a better idea of Type 1 Diabetes
