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
