Understanding Diabetes- Myths vs Facts

❌ Myth: All types of diabetes are the same
✅ Fact: There are several types of diabetes — the most common being type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Each has different causes and management approaches. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes require lifelong daily management, while gestational diabetes usually goes away after pregnancy but increases the risk of developing type 2 later in life. All forms of diabetes are serious and complex.

❌ Myth: Diabetes can be prevented
✅ Fact: Not all types can be prevented. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition with no known cause, prevention, or cure. Type 2 diabetes, however, may be prevented or delayed in up to 58% of cases through lifestyle and prevention programs. Risk is influenced by factors you can change (like lifestyle choices) and those you can’t (like family history and ethnicity).
