糖尿病主要分为两种类型:一类是胰岛素依赖型,也称Ⅰ型,起病较急,大多见于小儿及青少年,遗传因素在发病中起重要作用,必须依赖胰岛素治疗;另一类是非胰岛素依赖型,也称Ⅱ型,多见于中老年人,起病缓慢,虽有遗传倾向,但发病主要与环境因素有关,其发病率远较Ⅰ型为高。以前总认为发生在儿童、青少年身上的糖尿病,大都属于Ⅰ型,近年有些研究资料显示,Ⅱ型糖尿病在青少年中也日渐增多。更可虑的 Diabetes is mainly divided into two types: one is insulin-dependent, also known as type I, more acute onset, mostly seen in children and adolescents, genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis, must rely on insulin therapy; the other is non-insulin Dependent, also known as type Ⅱ, more common in the elderly, slow onset, although the genetic predisposition, but the incidence is mainly related to environmental factors, the incidence rate far higher than the type Ⅰ. Formerly considered as occurring in children, adolescents with diabetes, mostly belong to type Ⅰ, in recent years some research data show that type Ⅱ diabetes is also increasing in adolescents.
