Comment on Diabetes: Difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes by Mike5

type 1 diabetics have to take insulin shots for life and and get mainly by bad genes(bad luck). type 2 diabetics can take pills and really just have to watch what they eat and they will be able to live a normal life, type 2 diabetics get it mainly because of their poor eating, exercising habits. yes it is normal for them to lose weight because she didn't have any insulin in her so her body convert her sugar into energy so it started to use her fat for energy. -hope this answers your questions.-

ok, my younger brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 9 (he’s 13 now) so I’ve had to answer this question numerous times.
Basically, type 1 diabetes occurs mostly in children, it does not go away, and (so far) there is no cure. It happens when the pancreas stops producing insulin, which is needed to regulate blood sugar levels. People with type 1 have to take insulin (my brother does 4 shots a day) and check their blood sugar levels a lot to prevent hypoglycemia(low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia(high blood sugar). Diet needs to be monitored, however most of the time you can still have sugar and all that as long as its monitored and accounted for when giving insulin. Symptoms are: weight loss, extreme thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, fatigue, irritability, etc.
My brother lost a ton of weight before he was diagnosed, and could have gone into a coma. (His glucose level was almost 900, a normal level is 90-120)

ok, well i dont know as much about type 2, but i do know it usually occurs in people who are overweight. Their pancreas can still produce insulin, but the body no longer uses it correctly. People with type 2 usually dont need insulin injections (most take a pill) and it can be treated and somewhat cured by careful diet and weight loss. (Meaning they no longer have to take medication for it, but it’s possible they will need to again).

ok, well i hope that helps a little bit!References : brother is a type 1 diabetic.

Type one is genetic and you cant help it and type two is when you are over weight.

last question first: large amounts of insulin in the bloodstream not being used by the body causes the bod to use the fats first in attempting to keep the body healthy, then starts in on the muscles and depletes them trying to keep the body healthy, hence the weight loss in most diabetics of either type with uncontrolled glucose levels. It isn’t necessarily due to their dietary habits.

Most of the dietary changes are to lower the grams of carbohydrate the person is eating, which the insulin in the body stores as fat. Fats themselves are filtered out by the kidneys and liver. But fat formed by carbohydrate is packed on for future use.

The medication the girl will have to take are long acting insulin for basal about the same amount every day, and fast acting to deal with grams of carb at meal times or bolus which will depend on the number of carbs eaten in ratio to the units of insulin.

With a very restricted meal plan the doctor is trying to prevent the insulin weight gain while neutralizing the amount of glucose floating around loose in the blood. This is a good beginner plan. It teaches how much insulin to take in reference to the foods eaten.

This is Not the disaster it used to be. We have the glucometers now which make it very easy to see what our glucose numbers are right this minute. They used to have to pee on a strip and compare it to a chart. It wasn’t even close to any type of control. It merely told if one was over 300mg/dL YESTERDAY!!!

Girls get pregnant and maintain their glucose control very well and have very healthy babies and mommies now, compared to when I was growing up. They live very healthy happy lives even if they have to inject insulin all day everyday for the rest of their lives and finger prick at the drop of a hat.

This is not much of a problem really!!! They are much healthier than those from the past.

Oh, yes, Type 1 is caused by disease or damage to the pancreas that causes it to cease functioning.
Type 2 is caused by the muscles not accepting the insulin to absorb the glucose available, Insulin Resistance. It usually runs to the pancreas ceasing to function as well, but the body remains insulin resistant so the person must take meds to make the muscles accept the glucose and insulins available.

Better than 50% of all newly diagnosed type 2 persons are skinny, very highly active, never have been over weight or FAT!!! It strikes anyone from 2 to 102. No idea why but lots of ideas that it is genetic.References :

I’ll see if I can find some links that talk about the differences between type 1 and type 2. They both deal with insulin, and have the same symptoms, but that’s where the similarities end.

As far as the weight loss … type 1 diabetics will usually lose a lot of weight right before diagnosis. It has nothing to do with their diet. What happens is that their body is producing little or no insulin. Insulin is the key that allows the sugar in a person’s bloodstream to go into their cells. So without the insulin, they’re eating carbs and just peeing them back out without any of them being absorbed. So of course that would cause rapid weight loss.

Here’s a link that explains it a little better than I just did:

type 1 diabetes is absolute depent on insulin, cause damage of pancreas. we need insulin when we eat some food, to entering blood glucose result from our food into cell. type 2 diabetes cause resistensi insulin and little damage or problem secretion insulin. type 2 diabetes need insulin but not absolute depent on how high blood glucose
