What Is The Difference Between Type-1 And Type-2 Diabetes
There are two types of diabetes – type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes reduces insulin production or stops producing insulin, and can be controlled to a great extent. While the blood sugar level of people affected by type 2 diabetes increases greatly, which is very difficult to control. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are not the same, there is a lot of difference between the two. Understand the differences between these two in further slideshows.
Type 1 Diabetes
In this type of diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas are completely destroyed and thus insulin is not possible to form. It is caused by genetic, autoimmune and some viral infections, due to which beta cells are completely destroyed in childhood. This disease is usually seen in the age of less than 12 to 25 years. Type 1 diabetes has a greater effect in Sweden and Finland. According to the Ministry of Health, type 1 diabetes occurs in only 1% to 2% of cases in India.
Reason For Diabetes 1
Type 1 diabetes can happen to anyone at any time in childhood, even in old age infancy. But type 1 diabetes is usually seen only in the age of 6 to 18 years. That is, it is a disease that occurs in children. Although the number of people suffering from this type of diabetes is very small, only 1% to 2% of people in India have type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 symptoms
In type 1 diabetes, increasing the amount of sugar causes the patient to urinate frequently, due to excess fluid coming out of the body, the patient feels very thirsty. Due to this, there is also a lack of water in the body, the patient starts feeling weak, besides, the heartbeat also increases greatly.
Type 2 Diabetes
People with type 2 diabetes have a very high level of blood sugar, which is very difficult to control. In this condition, the victim feels more thirsty, frequent urination and frequent hunger problems. It can happen to anyone, but it is seen more in children. In type 2 diabetes, the body is unable to use insulin properly.
Reason for diabetes 2:
At present, children are also getting type 2 diabetes due to lack of exercise and a high intake of fast food. This is visible in people below 15 years, especially in 12 or 13-year-olds. It is occurring more among women than men. The disease is more common to people who are overweight, usually, BMI is higher in people over 32. It can also happen due to genetic reasons.
Type 2 symptoms:
Due to this, due to an increase in the level of blood sugar in the body, there are problems like fatigue, low vision, and headache. As the fluid comes out of the body in excess, it makes the patient thirsty. He does not heal quickly when an injury or wound occurs. Continuous excess of diabetes affects the eyesight, due to which there is a disease called diabetic retinopathy due to which the eyesight is decreased.
Precautions:
Insulin is given for the prevention of diabetes. Insulin is a type of hormone which is very useful for our body. It is through insulin that blood cells get sugar, that is, insulin works to deliver sugar to other parts of the body. The sugar supplied by insulin provides energy to the cells.

Even the most disciplined people can find it difficult to stick to their health routines during the festive season. But you can make things different this year. All that eating and socialising does not have to set you back on your fitness goals.
To help keep you on track, we’ve enlisted the aid of leading experts in health, fitness and nutrition for some much-needed advice. If you tend to get a little anxious around the festive season, don’t miss these simple tips and tricks to follow:
Nutrition and diet tips for Diwali festivities
Payal Kothari, nutritionist and author of The Gut, has shared with HT Lifestyle her tips on how to enjoy Diwali parties without compromising gut health. She says, “The festive season is filled with irresistible treats and family gatherings, but it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your health goals.”
She suggests opting for healthier alternatives without missing out on the joy of eating; but the key word there is balance. “Choose nutrient-dense snacks like roasted nuts, baked samosas, and fresh fruit platters over fried foods. Moderation is key — enjoy your sweets, but keep portion sizes in check,” Payal says.
Dr Kiran Soni, head of the department of Nutrition and Health at Yatharth Hospitals Greater Noida, adds that to maintain health and fitness during Diwali, you should focus on portion control rather than completely rejecting your favourite dishes.
“Fill your plate primarily with vegetables and lean proteins, leaving smaller portions for sweets and fried items. Stay hydrated; when attending parties, eat a small protein-rich snack beforehand to avoid overindulging,” she says.
Another one of your non-negotiables this festive season should be staying hydrated. Payal says, “Focus on staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water, herbal teas, and infused water to flush out toxins and curb overeating. Drink soup at home if you can, and then head out, or eat a small protein meal before heading out.”
Easy workouts to fit into your festive schedule
It’s not easy to fit in your workouts during the festive season, but even if exercise isn’t quite your top priority during the month of October, you can still move to stay active. Dr Soni says, “Maintaining physical activity is crucial during the festive season. Aim for short, high-intensity workouts when time is limited. Consider morning yoga or stretching sessions to energize your day. Take walks after heavy meals to aid digestion and burn calories.”
Payal recommends short, effective workouts, such as a 15-20-minute HIIT session, 20-30 burpees yoga stretches, or even a brisk walk. She says, “If you’re attending family gatherings or parties, use the opportunity to stay active—dance during celebrations. Being the first one to initiate the moves on the dance floor can help digest the extra food and burn those calories. Or go for a walk with your loved ones. Even 10 minutes of stretching in the morning can improve your energy levels and help you feel your best.”
How to manage stress during the festive season
Diwali season can bring a lot of stress and strain on your mental health, ranging from mild annoyances to the types of anxieties that keep you up at night. And as you probably know, exercise is a great way to relieve all of that. Another truth: what you eat matters too.
Payal suggests adding mood-boosting and stress-relieving foods to your diet, like dark leafy greens, almonds, and foods rich in Omega-3s, such as chia seeds and flaxseeds. She says, “Soups are great for gut-brain health.”
Dr Soni adds, “Managing stress is essential for overall well-being during busy festive periods. Incorporate stress-reducing foods into your diet, such as foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like fatty fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds), complex carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables), and magnesium-rich foods (leafy greens, legumes). Prioritise sleep and maintain a consistent sleep schedule as much as possible.”
Other coping mechanisms? “Practise mindfulness by incorporating short meditation or deep breathing exercises into your day, even if it’s just for five minutes. Prioritise quality sleep, and try to set aside a few moments of ‘me time’ to recharge. By making these small adjustments, you can enjoy the festivities guilt-free while maintaining a balance between health and celebration,” Payal says.
