if you're type 1 you'll have to have insulin\nif you're type 2 you can just regulate your diet and excercise

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.

As I read though earlier answers I see there is some good and some incorrect information.  People need to be specific when speaking about diabetes because there are two types.  Type 1 also known as juvenile diabetes is not curable.  Yes you could have a transplant of the pancreas but honestly that would be worse than having to take insulin everyday.  With transplant surgery there a many drugs you have to take to keep your body from rejecting the transplanted organ.  These drugs can do more harm to your body than diabetes (if you are keeping your glucose in check).\n\nNow with type 2 which is typically brought on by obesity can be "cured" with healthy diet and exercise in some people.  Type 2 diabetes does not act the same way as type 1, your pancreas does produce insulin but your body does not know how to deal with it -you are insulin resistant or you just don't produce enough.  If your diabetes is not tied to obesity then you are not likely to be "cured" by diet and exercise.  Type II can also be attributed to genetics,  or life style (excessive drinking, inactivity, certain drugs) also women who had gestational diabetes are more likely to develop Type II diabetes later in life.\n\nAs for you and your "cure" don't rely on the medications to "cure" you.  You need to change your lifestyle if weight is your issue.  Healthy diet and exercise - walking, running anything that gets you moving and your heart rate up.  Once you get your glucose levels in check you will see a big difference in your erectile issues (pun intended), because you will have better circulation.  Good luck and I hope everything works out for you.\n\nJust a side note of information - most Type II diabetics see their primary care physician for there diabetes care, your primary physician is not very likely to have been schooled extensively in diabetes care so you should see a specialist -an Endocrinologist.  A specialist would be a great person to help you get on track and they will usually set you up with a dietician.

There are two types of Diabetes.  Type I which is related to the bodys ability to produce and process insulin.  Type II is often related to obesity and insulin tolerance.\n\nAbout Diabetes:\n\nhttp://www.kidshealth.org/kid/diabetes_basics/\n\nType I Diabetes:\n\nWith type 1, the person may have the opposite problem - weight loss. Before they know they have type 1 diabetes, kids may lose weight because their bodies can't use glucose properly. Once someone knows they have type 1 diabetes and gets treatment, he or she usually gets back to a healthy weight. \n\nThis type of Diabetes almost always permanently requires medication such as insulin to manage this disease.  There are newer and better medications and testing supplies being developed all the time.\n\nType II Diabetes:\n\nDiabetes and Your Weight\nBeing overweight is directly related to type 2 diabetes. Most people are overweight when they first find out they have it. The extra weight can make it harder for their bodies to use sugar, or glucose (say: gloo-kose), the way it should. \n\nThat's why people who have type 2 diabetes will be encouraged to get to a healthy weight by eating right and getting regular exercise. Exercise not only burns calories, but it can also help the body use insulin (say: in-suh-lin) better. This makes it easier to keep blood sugar levels on track.\n\nMany persons who have Type II Diabetes can make it go away when they return to a normal weight for their body structure.\n\n(I am sorry, the poster named 'Mom' is incorrect in this instance)

Hyperglycemia. Glucose overload! Eaten too many sweets too soon.

Let me begin by saying that I commend you on your efforts to continue your education and not let diabetes stop you. I am 24 years old and finishing up my MA in English, so you are not alone. I completely relate to your situation, although I am not currently insulin-dependant. \n\nThere are new treatments out there. The new isulin inhaler should be on the market in just a matter of months .. sometime this summer and that would be one option. An insulin pump would also be a great option for you if you are up to 3 injections daily. This way, your sticks are greatly reduced. \n\nI am not sure about the pancreas transplant issue, but I have heard of islet cells being transplanted. I would recommend doing your own research on this. Consult with the ADA and see what you can find out there. I think these things are still pretty experimental for the most part. \n\nAs for other organizations that can help you with your expenses / treatment, etc., consider consulting your local health department. I work for a health department diabetes program and I am sure there is a similar program in your area. You can probably access free diabetes education resources and even get some help with meds. \n\nGood luck and best wishes.. I hope everything works out for you in your education and otherwise.

I caution you to be very careful when self-treating diabetes.  It is an extremely tenuous condition, and monitoring you blood glucose is imperitive.  While elevated blood sugar may give you no symptoms now, in the long run, there are SERIOUS complications!  (Including blindness, nerve problems, heart problems, amputations,etc).  Please, please, please monitor your blood glucose.  Be under the care of a physician.\n\nAnother note - Type I (childhood) diabetes is much less controllable with diet - your body simply does not have the cells to pruduce insulin.  Type II can sometimes respond to changes in diet.

Its hard to say. You havent mentioned the exact numbers, for e.g. 200mg per what, a L of blood or is this result FBS or 2 hrs after you ate. \n\nIf you do think you have diabetes, you should go to your doctor and he/she would arrange a variety of tests to confirm it. Also there are three classic signs of type 2 diabetes that people usually experience (increased thirst, increased hunger, and increased urination). Again, these can vary according to the variations in our surroundings. So go to your doctor. Managing diabetes is not impossible and remember - Diabetes does not mean "stop eating food". \n\nIts very simple to manage diabetes, but if untreated - it can be fatal.

I think that someone can be type 1 and 2.  The question is whether they are insulin deficient or insulin resistant.  I hate thinking about things in black and white (He has purely type 1 and she has purely type 2) because in medicine things always occur on a spectrum.  Lets say you have a low grade auto immune disorder and your insulin production is decreased because of slow gradual lost of Beta cell function  over time. Wouldn't this be a type of type 1 dm.  And lets also say that you get a bit overweight and become insulin resistant.  So for the first 30 yrs of life,  you had enough insulin production but because you put on the weight you also become insulin resistant.  Then wouldn't you be type 1 and type 2 diabetic.  Remember life is never always that clear and simply.  The important thing is to diagnosis the diabetes early and control it so to prevent complications down the line.

If you are doing a research paper, the first thing you need to distinguish is what type of diabetes you will be focusing on: type 1, type 2, or gestational.  Type 2 is much more prevalent, usually accounting for up to 90% of diabetes cases.  Next, you need to account for type 2 diabetes is largely underdiagnosed.\nThat being said, the Brownsville Herald article states that in 2001, 8% of the Rio Grande Valley population was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.  If the population was 978,369 in 2000, than that's approx. 68,500 people diagnosed.  Look at the CDC and diabetes.org for additional info.  Hope this helps!

Type 1 diabetes (aka, insulin-dependent diabetes)is a severe, chronic form of diabetes caused by insufficient production of insulin and resulting in abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The disease, which typically appears in childhood or adolescence, is characterized by increased sugar levels in the blood and urine, excessive thirst, frequent urination, acidosis, and wasting.\n\nType 2 diabetes (aka non-insulin-dependent diabetes) is a mild form of diabetes that typically appears first in adulthood and is exacerbated by obesity and an inactive lifestyle. This disease often has no symptoms, is usually diagnosed by tests that indicate glucose intolerance, and is treated with changes in diet and an exercise regimen.

it seems as though you are trying to treat your diabetes with homeopathic thoughts.\n\nType 2 diabetes can be "controlled" and/or "cured" by the diet and there is a place that uses homeopathic means to do this.\n\nIt is called the Weimar Institute.  They take obese type 2 diabetics and change their life menu.  In several weeks these people lose weight, are put on a diet that detoxifies their system (organic vegitable shakes) and exercise.  \n\nI have seen a woman who was advised to take radiation and chemo for cancer refuse that treatment and go to Weimar for their detox program.  2 years later -- no cancer, lost 125 lbs and is happy as ever.  \n\nCheck this out -- call them and see.  If you want to learn about it the right way, they are the ones who know.

THEY ARE VERY PAINFUL AND IT IS NOT GOOD FOR A PERSON WITH DIABETIES TO HAVE SORES AND INFECTIONS.  I WOULD DEFINITELY GO SEE MY DOCTOR ASAP.  TAKE CARE.

Talk to your doctor. Unquenchable thirst is a major indicator for diabetes. You may need to be tested.
