- Non-Communicable Diseases
- Diabetes
- Type 2
- Type 2 diabetes is similar to Type 1 diabetes in as much as it is a non-communicable disease.
- However, where Type 1 diabetes can't be cured, actions can be taken to reduce the risk and sometimes cure you from Type 2 diabetes.?
- Type 2 diabetes is formed when the pancreases is constantly releasing insulin because of the amount of sugar and carbohydrates the person is consuming. This means that the pancreases can't create enough insulin.
- Type 1
- Type 1 diabetes is a non-communicable illness. This means it cannot be passed from one person to another unlike a cold or a flu. However it sometimes can be generic.
- Type 1 diabetes is when the pancreases fails to produce a substance called insulin. ?
- People with Type 1 diabetes have to often test the sugar levels and must inject them self every night or morning with a slow acting insulin which will slowly release insulin over a long period of time, and also, they need to inject before every meal time with a fast acting insulin which activates straight away. The insulin is measured in units and 1 unit is equal to 10g of sugar. This means if you were going to eat a meal with total amount of 50g of sugar and carbohydrates you would give yourself 5 units.
