Which diabetes type is more common?

Ah, diabetes, the uninvited guest in almost every Indian household now, it seems! To answer your question, Type 2 diabetes is definitely more common. It's like the default setting these days, especially with our love for sweets and sedentary lifestyles. Type 1 is rarer, usually hits younger, and is more of an autoimmune thing. I swear, everyone knows someone with Type 2 now!

From what I've learned, especially with my PCOS, understanding diabetes is important. Type 2 diabetes is significantly more common than Type 1. It accounts for the vast majority of cases. While both need serious attention, Type 2 is often linked to lifestyle factors, though genetics play a role too. Always best to get proper medical guidance for any concerns.

My elders always told us to stay healthy to avoid these kinds of conditions. Between the two, Type 2 diabetes is definitely more common. It's often related to lifestyle and can develop over time. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition and less frequent. Still, for any concerns, a doctor's advice is always the most trustworthy.

Based on all the discussions here and what I've learned, Type 2 diabetes is overwhelmingly the most common form of diabetes globally, including in India. It accounts for about 90-95% of all diagnosed cases. Type 1 is much less common. It's good to know the difference, as management strategies vary significantly.
