Question

Type one diabetic or type two?

Answer 1

usually your doctor will tell you. how about asking him/her instead of a bunch of random people killing time on YA

Answer 2

TYPE 1 DIABETES, (in the past known as Insulin Dependent Diabetes, or Juvenile Diabetes) describes a type of diabetes where there is an absolute lack of insulin. The Beta cells (in the pancreas) normally responsible for making and secreting insulin die because the body's immune system has attacked them. Therefore no cells are available to make the insulin. In this case, the body will die without getting supplemental insulin in the immediate, or near-immediate future. The incidence of Type 1 diabetes has probably been underestimated in the past, and may represent 10% or more of people with diabetes. The only treatment at this time, is insulin shots.

In TYPE 2 DIABETES, (in the past, known as Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes, Adult Onset Diabetes, Maturity Onset Diabetes, and others), beta cells are present, and therefore insulin is present. However the amount of insulin available is less than the individual requires (i.e., there is a relative lack of insulin). Furthermore, the insulin itself, in someone with Type 2 diabetes, doesn't work as well as it should when it gets to the cell, a state called Insulin Resistance. About 90% of diabetics fall into this category. Treatment may include proper diet, activity/exercise, and pills, but sometimes insulin is necessary.

Answer 3

Type One Diabetes is known as Juvenile Diabetes (Diabetes Milletus), because it usually affects children and young adults. BUT, adults can get it. Type One Diabetics are dependent upon insulin (whether it is through injections with a syringe or an insulin pump.) There is not a certain thing that causes Type One.

Type Two Diabetics are usually overweight, and the disease is brought on by a bad diet, not exercizing, living an unhealthy lifestyle, etc. It can usually be treated by losing weight and eating a balanced low-carb and low-sugar diet, and can oftentimes be reversed.

Answer 4

Type I Diabetes you are born with or develop at a young age. You are insulin dependent by the injection. Type II Diabetes you develop over time, usually later in life. There are contributing factors to Type II Diabetes, such as weight, diet, and family history. Type II Diabetics can usually be controlled through a careful diet at first, possibly with oral medications like Glucophase or Avandia, etc.... Type II Diabetics (age-onset) may progress to needing the injections, but Type I will need them from the start.

Answer 5

Type one is developed at an early age, type 2 is developed later in life.

Answer 6

actually the myth that type one is a child onset and type to is adult on set is just that a myth. kids are coming down with type 2 earlier and earlier. Best way to know though... go to the doctor.

Answer 7

Usually type two is diagnosed when you are older. Doctors will check your blood and will be able to tell you that way. Don't wait! The sooner you know the better.
