Unraveling Diabetes: Type 1, Type 2 and Beyond 

Discover the fascinating history of diabetes classification, from ancient times to today's cutting-edge research 

A Journey Through Diabetes 

T1D is a chronic disease that primarily impacts children and young adults, and it’s associated with autoimmune responses 

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) 

Genetics play a significant role in T1D, with certain HLA genes being key contributors 

The Genetic Side of T1D 

Along with genetics, environmental factors like diet, viral infections, and gestational events can influence the onset of T1D 

Environmental Factors and T1D 

T2D involves sustained hyperglycemia due to ineffective insulin production, insulin resistance, or both

Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) 

Just like T1D, T2D is influenced by genetics and environmental factors, with obesity being a major contributing factor 

Genetics and Lifestyle in T2D 

Just like T1D, T2D is influenced by genetics and environmental factors, with obesity being a major contributing factor 

Genetic Mystery of T2D 

Researchers are dividing T1D and T2D into subtypes, which could lead to more personalized treatments and better outcomes
