Comment on The Second Type of Diabetes: Type 2 Diabetes by GumboSoup

The two above me are only partially correct as well in their description of type II.

It may be that the beta cells are dying and not producing enough insulin. Or, the person may be insulin resistant, where enough insulin is produced, bu the body just can't use it correctly.

In the latter case, diet and exercise help greatly. Losing weight helps in both cases, but for lightly different physiological reasons.

Setan Gondol above me is NOT correct at ALL. Steph is completely correct. Type ones ALWAYS need to inject insulin for their entire lives. We produce NO insulin from our pancreas. Over time, even when they are very very careful, they are still not expected to have as long of a life span as a non-diabetic. This destroys your body over time and it is very difficult. But you get used to it. Type two is more common, usually but definitely not always caused by being overweight. What happens is their pancreas cannot produce ENOUGH and so they can take pills for it. But sometimes they are instructed to inject insulin, as injections give you somewhat more control. Type one is definitely worse but they are both annoyances!! Check out diabetes websites.

Comment on The Second Type of Diabetes: Type 2 Diabetes by Steph

I'm afraid a few of the answers before me are not correct! I have been diabetic 14 years…I'm 22. I have type 1 (or Juvenil-insulin dependent diabetes). The difference is in Type 1 your pancreas has no working beta cells therefore produces no insulin. In type 2, the pancreas is slowing, meaning the beta cells are dying and do not produce enough insulin, but still produces some. Type 1 is an auto-immune disease that is genetic and the person cannot help getting it (not caused by anything). Type 2 is caused by being overweight, eating too many carbs and sugars. Type 1 is treated with insulin (several insulin shots a day, and some have insulin pumps). Type 2 can usually be treated with diet and exercise, the more weight a type 2 patient loses, the better chance of losing the diabetes. There is no cure for type 1 diabetes…yet : ) Hope I helped!
