Of the 3 known types of diabetes, there are causes as diverse as they are uncontrollable. <\/span><b>Stress, hormones and genetics<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are as relevant as <\/span><b>diet and lifestyle.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Type 1 diabetes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this type of diabetes is an autoimmune disease, where the immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells. Due to the destruction of these cells, type 1 diabetes patients need to obtain insulin by external means to regulate sugar levels.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Type 2 diabetes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this is the most common type of diabetes, accounting for the majority of cases. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin or cannot produce enough insulin to balance blood sugar levels. It is caused by many factors, including lifestyle, diet and physical inactivity. However, it can be managed with changes in habits, medication and sometimes external insulin.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Gestational diabetes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this occurs during pregnancy when hormone levels can lead to insulin resistance. It usually heals after delivery, but expectant mothers are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later in life.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The risks associated with diabetes are diverse and cover many areas of health.
