There is no clear answer regarding which type of diabetes is worse. Both types of diabetes can lead to serious complications if not well managed, including heart disease, vision loss, kidney damage, and blood vessel damage. However, there are some important differences between the two types of diabetes:

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder, which means that the bodys immune system attacks the beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. This leads to a lack of insulin production, which can cause high blood sugar levels and other complications. Type 1 diabetes is generally diagnosed in young people and is not curable.

Type 2 diabetes is caused by the bodys cells being unable to use insulin properly and efficiently, leading to high blood sugar levels. It is the more common type of diabetes, accounting for up to 95% of cases in the United States. Type 2 diabetes can sometimes be put into remission if caught and treated early, but it is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management.

In summary, both types of diabetes can have serious consequences if not well managed, but there is no clear answer as to which type is worse.
