What is the difference between Diabetes Type 1 and 2.?
Q. I've been interested and researching some fields involving things that are medical, and I was wondering how one can get the two types of Diabetes and which is worse. Are people with Diabetes type 1 generally not overweight compared to type 2?
How do people who aren't fat at all get Diabetes? Is it a completely different cause to getting it other than eating too much?
I'm thinking it might be past genes.

A. I have been healthy and active my entire life, always skinny as well. But, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a couple months ago. Why? Because Type 1 is genetic, meaning, you always have had it, but it was not triggered until something caused it to do so. Type 1 is usually triggered by the flu, or fevers, I've even heard of one guy who got it right after he had a simple cold. Sometimes you don't even get sick first, it just happens. Bottom line is, it has nothing to do with what you do or eat, if you have it, you have it, that is it. Type 1 means your pancreas no longer produces Insulin, Insulin is used to bond with the food you eat and cells and this produces energy.
There is no other option for a Type 1 Diabetic but to need daily shots of Insulin, unless you have the pump which is always connected to you and you manage how much insulin goes into you or not.
There is no cure at this time and it is not something that can go away with time.
Type 2 Diabetes, is also GENETIC. But it has been known to be triggered by excess weight, poor diet, and other factors as well. Living a healthy and active lifestyle can prevent Type 2 in some cases, though not all. Type 2 still produces some insulin though not a lot, and can be treated simply with pills, diet, exercise, and in severe cases insulin injections as well. It is possible for Type 2 to go away over time with proper care, though not always and rarely.
I should also point out that my grandmother got Type 2 later on in life, and she was very very thin. It is a misconception that all Type 2s are overweight.
I would say Type 1 is worse, it has no other option but insulin shots, it starts earlier in life so you really do have it your whole life, and there is not chance of it going away.
But, they are closer to finding a cure for Type one, possibly within 20 years, so I guess it depends on if you have faith in them being able to find a cure or not.
Though, no one should have to have Type 1 or 2, because neither are easy and both require a lot of work.
Hope I helped

Did somebody know any institution where you can stay and learn how to take care of diabetes type 1( like insti?
Q. Did somebody know any institution where you can stay and learn how to take care of diabetes type 1( like institution for alcohol or drugs recovery).I have daughter 28years old with diabetes type1,her blood sugar is almost every day low 20 and she could manage ,and she live with two small children by her self.I would like to put her some where to learn how to take care of diabetes.
A. No one needs institutionalized to learn how to care for diabetes.
Your daughters endocrinologist should have sent her to a diabetes education class as well as a series of appointments with her dietitian.
As she is an adult, you can help by learning what foods are best for her to eat and help her out.Take care of the kids for a while, make a family meal and even offer to spend the night if she wants you to.

Does anyone else out there live with a spouse who has diabetes type 1, and have to deal with their mood swings?
Q. My husband has diabetes type 1 and when his blood sugar is too low or way too high he gets angry even at stupid little things. He ends up complaining alot and blamming me for things I didn't do. Later he acts like I started it all in the first place. Sometimes he says he's sorry. How do you cope with mood swings when you are the spouse?
A. My sister has type one diabetes, and has had it since she was an infant. I have had to deal with her mood swings when she is having a high/low BG. This is normal activity for when they have these kinds of low or high bloodsugars. Diabetics may become irritable or fussy when they have these bloodsugars because of the unnatural levels. When this happens, you simply wait until this is over, making sure they have been treated for their bloodsugar with insulin if they have a high bloodsugar, and carbohydrates if they have a low bloodsugar.
