Does anyone know the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?

Type I involves the pancreas not producing insulin due to auto-immune and genetic problems. Type II is caused by the body not being able to use insulin right anymore due to bad lifestyle choices.

It depends what type of Diabetes you have. Is it type one or type two. Is it Hypo-glycemic or Hyper-glycemia.

I had a long explanation, but there is a more concise version at\n\nhttp://www.diabetes.org/about-diabetes.jsp\n\nClick on the menu at the left. There are two types of "sugar" diabetes. The most common is Type II (insulin insensitivity, most often associated with obesity).\n\nDiabetes is a wasting disease, eventually starving cells of needed glucose. It leads to and/or exacerbates other medical problems in the eyes, kidneys, numb toes, infections, etc. If you have it, work with your doctor to keep it VERY WELL CONTROLLED. Too many people have had amputated limbs, or need renal dialysis, or lost sight from this disease.

No. Diabetes is not caused by sugar. The cause of Type 1 diabetes is unknown. Type 2 is usually caused by being overweight or having an exhausted pancreas.

Type 1 - no\n\nType 2 - maybe.  There are studies which indicate that people who eat a lot of high glycemic foods (sugar is one) develop type 2 diabetes as a result of the constant assault on their pancreas.\n\nYou'd be wise to buffer your sugar with protein or eat smaller amounts several hours apart.

Diabetics has type I(A) and Type II (B). Mostly type II are related to environment. The S/S like thirsty, fading,tired, sleepy all the day, someone told you that your oral odour smell like sugar... \n\nWhen more severe, skin itchy, eye problem may happen.\n\nyou can consult with your physician or perform some blood glucose examination to see whether your blood glucose level is high or low

Type I (juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes): The reason for type I diabetes is due to pancreas unability to produce insulin. This type of diabetes is uncommon but severe in nature. It usually starts in childhood or adolescence and is a result of a genetic problem. \n\nType II (Type 2) (non insulin dependent diabetes or adult onset diabetes): Type II (Type 2) diabetes is a result of body tissues becoming resistant to insulin. It generally happens to people above 40 years of age and is usually hereditary.

There are several causes for diabetes, but mostly the condition is caused by heredity (meaning your family history of the condition, etc.). There are different types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetics do not produce any insulin at all and are forced to use synthetic insulin injections on a daily basis to control their blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetics usually do produce insulin, but their bodies reject the insulin or the amount produced is not enough. Type 2 diabetes is usually treated with diet, exercise, and oral medications. However, some Type 2 diabetics due require insulin injections as well. \n\nPrecautions and / or preventative measures that you can take to lower your risk for developing diabetes include:\n-- Eat a well-balanced healthy diet. Limit your carb and sugar intake as much as possible. \n-- Maintain a healthy weight for your body type. Being overweight increases your risk for diabetes. \n-- Maintain healthy cholesterol and lipid / triglyceride levels. \n-- Exercise on a daily basis. Physical activity will lower your weight, cholesterol, and other factors relating to the risk of developing diabetes.\n\nTalk to your doctor about a prevention plan unique to you. \n\nUnfortunately, there is no cure for diabetes at this point. There are excellent treatment options available and most people who are medically treated, live happy, healthy lives. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

Actually- the person involved needs to get checked by a physician for fibromyalgia. Is this person a diabetic too?\nIf so, the person needs to be checked for Celiac disease. The difference between a type 1 diabetic and a person that presents with Celiac is that the Type 1 diabetic will have ketones in the urine- the Celiac will not. I hope this helps.

Hi, yes Type 1 diabetes and coeliac are linked to one another as both are autoimmune diseases. Unfortunatley when we have one autoimmune disease we are then prone to others. A significant number of people with type 1 diabetes will go on to develop coeliac. The genes are hereditary but in saying that, the majority of people with diabetes do not seem to have a close relative with it.

First of all you must understan that there are 2 types of diabetes.\n   Type one: The body does not produce any insulin. The most hopeful cure is islet cell transplants. This is done by injecting islet cells from a cadaver into the pancreas of the individual with type 1 diabetes. The process needs cells from about 10 cadavers and now is about 70-80% effective for eliminating the need to use insulin.\n   Type 2 diabetes has a few causes. The body does not produce enough insulin or the body does not use insulin effectivley. There is some medication and insulin available to control this.\n   Either one of these can develop from a family history or by living a certain lifestyle. The best way to control, delay and or prevent this is from proper dietary habits. Portion control,eating healthy foods and exercise are still the best options.

Type I - genetic inability for the pancreas to produce sufficient insulin to regulate blood glucose levels. Not your fault.\nType II - Inability of the body to regulate blood glucose levels, comes on later in life, maybe brought on my genetics, maybe your poor diet, diet/exercise ratio, or both. Your fault.

Type 1 Diabetes is caused from damage to the pancreas due to certain viral infections, gall stones or alcohol.Genetics also play a role\nType 2 Diabetes is caused from inheritance, overweight, high carb diet, certain medicines such as steriods.

Yes, you can still get diabetes type 2. (Although less likely)\n\nThe difference between type 1 and 2 are:\n\nType 1: your body doesnt produce insulin.(or insuffient amounts of insulin)\n\nTypes 2: Your body doesnt absorb the insulin as well.(usually over time)\n\nTypes 1 and 2 can both be developed but most people have type 2 because of lack of exercise and a poor diet and obesity)
