Q. My mom has type 2 diabetes and the doctor said it was resolved after she lost over 100lbs but now she broke her ankle. She can't really move for 6 to 8 weeks and we live on the second floor in a studio. Is there anything we can do to make sure her diabetes doesn't come back?
A. Type 2 diabetes is control by lifestyle change -- proper diet, proper exercise, and weight control.
You mom may not be able to exercise right now, but she CAN control her diet and her weight. Being pretty much inactive, she will need to REDUCE her calorie intake by eating less food.
She also needs to get up an exercise that broken ankle (as the doctor permits) so that she can get back to physical activity, and thus increase her food intake.
"Resolved" is the wrong word. "Controlled" is correct. Diabetes will NEVER leave you -- you can only CONTROL IT, WIC it seems as though you Mom has done. She must now work harder on the diet since she is temporarily inactive. in the mean time, work the necessary Physical Therapy to get the ankle back in shap so that she can resume her previous exercise level, thus KEEPING the diabetes under control.

What's the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes?
Q. What's the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes?
A. Difference between type 1 and type 2
What is Type 1 Diabetes?
Type 1 Diabetes is a disorder in which the body does not produce insulin (a hormone that aids in moving sugar from the blood to the cells). This type of diabetes can be due to a virus or autoimmune disorder in which the body does not recognize an organ as its own and attacks it. In this case the body attacks an organ known as the pancreas where insulin is made. This type of diabetes is usually diagnosed before age 40.
What is the treatment for Type 1 Diabetes?
Those with Type 1 Diabetes are required to take insulin injections to move sugar from the bloodstream.
What about Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 Diabetes occurs when insulin that the body produces is less efficient at moving sugar out of the bloodstream. Some sugar is moved out of the blood, just not as effectively compared to a person with normal insulin efficiency. High blood sugar is a result of this. Type 2 Diabetes used to be thought of as the adult onset type of diabetes. However, an alarming rate of children are now being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
How is Type 2 Diabetes Treated?
Diet, exercise, weight loss, and in many cases medication are the treatment for this type of diabetes. Occasionally, someone with Type 2 may be placed on insulin to better control blood sugar. This type of diabetes is associated with physical inactivity and obesity.

A. I don't think it is the absence of a protein or enzyme that causes type 2 diabetes.
Do people with Type 2 diabetes have too much or to little or insulin?
Q. Type 2 diabetes is when you have too much sugar.
A. Type 1 Diabetes is:
Classed as autoimmune usually diagnosed in children and young adults
where the pancreas is not producing enough insulin to encourage needed energy into cells
Type 2 Diabetes is:
Usually but not always, diagnosed in mature people
where the pancreas is usually making more than enough insulin but the cells are resisting its efforts to let energy pass through their membranes.
Hope this helps.
