Some experts think that type 1 is more dangerous than type 2 diabetes. There are two schools of thought, one is that type 1 diabetes are more prone to complications at an early age. So worsening of the symptoms of complications and worsening of diabetes and the worsening of the blood sugar is more in type 1 diabetes, than in type 2 diabetes. The more progression if the disease is that in type 1 diabetes, it is more aggressive, the complications which arise at their early part of their life is more in type 1 diabetes. The management is more of a challenge in type 1 diabetes. So if you look at the firts school of thought type 1 diabetes is a bit more difficult, complicated and the complications are more and the amount of socioeconomic impact on the patient and on the society, that is where we assess the type 1 diabetes a bit more aggressive than type 2 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, where we stand an advantage where most of the research we are concentrating more on the type 2 diabetes. type 2 diabetes is a slowly progressing disease where there is an insulin loss over a period of time, but in , type 1 diabetes the insulin loss or the zero insulin concept is at the starting stage itself. So type 2 diabetes is pretty less aggressive, it is slowly progressive, the complications occur at a later part in their life. So the complications occurring after 10 or 15 years is very common in type 2 diabetes. But if you take type 1 diabetes, the complications arises by 5 to 8 years of duration of diabetes. So if you overall look at the pattern, the complications, the economic burden and the patients socio conditions and the emotional conditions, I think the type 1 diabetes are more medically difficult compared to type 2 diabetes.
