How Do People Get Diabetes?
Diabetes is primarily caused by either the body’s inability to produce insulin (Type 1 diabetes) or the ineffective use of insulin by the body (Type 2 diabetes). Type 1 is often due to genetic and environmental factors, while Type 2 is commonly associated with lifestyle factors such as obesity, poor diet, and lack of exercise. Additionally, gestational diabetes can occur during pregnancy due to hormonal changes affecting insulin effectiveness.
