Q. Can an obese young adult develop type 1 diabetes and not type 2? I've read unexpected weight loss is a symptom of type 1, so can an obese young adult losing weight without effort and with other diabetes symptoms get type 1?
A. It is possible. Type I diabetes is an autoimmune disease, so it is possible to occur at any age, especially if you have a family history of it.
What are the best ways to reduce the risk of getting type 1 diabetes?
Q. I'm really scared that I'm going to get type 1 diabetes. I match two of the symtoms of it: extreem hunger and fatigue. Type 1 diabetes runs in my family, my sister, and great grandparents had it.
A. If it runs in your family, you should probably go and get tested for it.
Other symptoms that I experienced include frequent thirst, frequent bathroom visits-like every hour and you feel like you can't hold it if you want to-, and vomiting after a high carb and high sugar meal-such as a chocolate shake and McDonald's for me-, and extreme weight loss.
You can go to your doctor so they can check your urine, no blood drawn. Please, don't wait. DIabetes is very serious but don't be scared, your doctors can offer all kinds of support.

What happens if i am diagnosed with type 1 diabetes?
Q. Will I have to go to the hospital if I am diagnosed with type 1 diabetes? If so, what will i do there? Will they just teach me how to control my diabetes? Will they just monitor me? Will they do anything that hurts to me besides insulin injections, and checking my blood sugar?
A. i'm not quite sure why you're asking this if you haven't even been diagnosed. did your doctor tell you he suspects you have t1? there is no way that a doctor would tell you that and then simply send you home without insulin or education. you don't even know if you have it, you don't claim to have any symptoms, and yet you're jumping to conclusions. take it one step at a time instead of freaking out over this. oh, and you DON'T need a catheter unless you are severely ill, unconscious, or physically unable to void on your own. stop obsessing over this...it's not healthy!
How often is "frequent urination for type 1 diabetes?"?
Q. I'm doing a research project on Type 1 Diabetes (Juvenile Diabetes) and I need to know symptoms. One thing I need to write is how often "frequent urinaton" is. Like, once an hour, twice an hour, once every two hours, ect. Help, please! This is worth 75% of my overall Science grade.
A. I, myself, have type 1 diabetes, so I guess my answer comes more from a personal experience. Umm, frequent urination would be like around every two hours. Sometimes I would just go to the bathroom because I feel I need to go, but when I get to the toilet, I can't urinate or anything. Its just an urge sometimes. Other symptoms include thirst, hunger, severe weight loss, and blurred vision. I hope this helps(:
