Diabetes Patients May Be at a Higher Risk for Strokes
Which type is more common?
Type 2 diabetes is significantly more common than Type 1, due to the fact that it accounts for roughly 90 to 95 of 100 people who are diabetic. In the case of Type 2 diabetes, the body is not able to properly use insulin, which is known as insulin resistance. Over time, it is possible for the pancreas to create less and less insulin, which is referred to as insulin deficiency. With this specific type of diabetes, it is often seen in adults, but as of recently, the occurrence in children with Type 2 diabetes has been increasing.
