Answer 4

Diabetes is NOT an infectious disease. You cannot acquire it from a germ or toxin. Diabetes develops on its own. There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 (colloquially called "juvenile onset") diabetes is an auto-immune disease where your immune system backfires and destroys pancreatic islet cells, particularly the ones that make insulin. Without insulin, your body cannot take up glucose from blood, and you become very sick. Then there's Type 2 diabetes, which is often a result from poor nutritional habits. Obesity is the major contributor to Type 2 diabetes. When you are obese, your body's metabolism starts to go crazy. Your pancreas may still produce insulin, but your cells can no longer respond to its effects. So they stop absorbing glucose from blood, and again, you get very sick. Type 2 diabetes is often preventable if you keep your weight down, exercise and eat sensibly.

So in short: either diabetes just happens, or you get so fat that it develops.

Answer 5

diabetes is not an infection. it is a disease that is caused by either insulin rejection or your body doesn't use your own insulin correctly and the glucose stays in your blood instead of going into your cells to be used for energy. if you have a sedentary lifestyle, eat unhealthy and high sugar diets, you can develop diabetes. you can also be a high risk if you are a certain ethnic group or have a family history. but it's not a communicable disease. you just can't catch it.

Answer 6

There are many types of diabetes, since diabetes basically means watery urine. However, assuming you're refering to the most common type, which is diabetes mellitus, there are two types:-

IDDM = Insulin dependant Diabetes Mellitus. IDDM is a genetic disease, meaning that your pancreatic cells are either inefficient or do not produce insulin at all.
NIDDM = Non Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus. Is the acquired form of diabetes mellitus. It is due to the desensitization of your liver cells to insulin through receptor changes on the plasma membrane.

NIDDM is acquired through unhealthy eating, and even so, takes years to manifest. Therefore, it is considered a geriatric disease.

Answer 7

there are 2 types of diabetes: type 1 is the type that you get when you are young...your body cannot produce insulin, and you have to take insulin shots. Nothing "causes" that, it just comes. type 2 diabetes is the type that occurs in people 35 and older, and the people at risk for that are the overweight, those with high blood pressure, those who eat poorly, and have certain other medical conditions. That type, type 2 is controlled with medication, as well as diet and exercise.

Answer 8

You cannot be infected with Diabetes you either born with it or you develop it

Answer 9

diabetes is not an infectious disease. There is type I diabetes which develops in child hood most of the time, and there is type II which happens to adults. Most adults who develop type II are overweight. Hereditary is the major defining factor as to whether or not on will develop either type.

Answer 10

Diabetes has to do with the chemicals in your body. If you don't make enough insulin to break down the food that you eat, that results in diabetes.
