LES PATHOLOGIES CARDIAQUES
TYPE I DIABETE
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by an inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin, an essential hormone for regulating blood sugar levels. This type of diabetes is generally diagnosed in children, adolescents and young adults, although it can occur at any age.
The main factors contributing to the development of type 1 diabetes are generally genetic and immunological in origin. In this type of diabetes, the immune system mistakenly attacks the beta cells of the pancreas, which are responsible for insulin production. This leads to progressive destruction of these cells, resulting in reduced or no insulin production.
Symptoms of type 1 diabetes include excessive thirst, increased urination, persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision and frequent hunger. If these symptoms are present, it's important to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis.
Treatment of type 1 diabetes generally involves the daily administration of insulin, either by injection or via an insulin pump. Patients need to monitor their blood glucose levels regularly and adjust their insulin dose accordingly, depending on their diet, level of physical activity and other factors.

TYPE II DIABETE
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by abnormally high blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance and insufficient insulin production by the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that enables the body's cells to absorb glucose (sugar) from the blood and use it for energy.
In type 2 diabetes, cells become resistant to insulin, which means they don't respond properly to this hormone. As a result, glucose remains in the bloodstream, leading to hyperglycemia. What's more, over time, the pancreas may not be able to produce enough insulin to compensate for this resistance, exacerbating the problem.
Type 2 diabetes is often associated with risk factors such as obesity, lack of physical activity, unbalanced diet and a family history of diabetes. It can be controlled by lifestyle measures such as a balanced diet, regular exercise and, in some cases, medication. However, in some cases, insulin therapy may be required to control blood sugar levels. If not properly managed, this disease can lead to serious complications such as cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, kidney problems and vision problems.
