Someone along the way has shorten the name to just diabetes T1 because they are lazy but it IS the same.
There are many forms but the "Myelitis" is the most common form of Diabetes. So someone said diabetes T1 or Type 2 and/or gestational and the shorter form was born!!!
The correct and the professional way to refer to it is Diabetes Myelitis (and then the type)
Along time ago referred it was also a NIDMT2 (or gestational) WRONG.... Non insulin diabetes type 2 is not a correct dx, either is IDDM. BUT ICD9 codes use this as a standard for billing. But I don't think nurses need to know that (unless you do self billing!)

Good Luck with your training. Us Diabetics of all type's need you nurses to be well trained before working on us.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

yes, these are the same. these both refer to diabetes that was not diagnosed as a young person. The type ii diabetics are usually older. But now, with rising obesity and poor diet and unhealthy lifestyle, we are seeing an onset of type ii at an earlier age, like the twenties. I like to think of it like this... type one diabetics are diagnosed at a younger age, under twenty. their pancreas never produced enough insulin to keep the blood sugars under control.

type 2 diabetics, as a result of poor lifestyle, diet, excercise, have possibly worn out their pancreas, and it no longer secretes sufficient insulin to control the blood sugar. this is really not a textbook definition, this is just how i remember it. (however, not all type 2 diabetics are big, fat, and unhealthy. genetics do play a part).

and also, easy tip, type I diagnosed young, before the type II, an older crowd. use chronology.

I hope I havent totally confused you. I am a nurse in an internal medicine clinic and deal with this all day long. hope it helps.

Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism. It is a disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels). It is a metabolic disease that requires medical diagnosis, treatment and lifestyle changes. The World Health Organization recognizes three main forms of diabetes: type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes (or type 3, occurring during pregnancy)[1], although these three "types" of diabetes are more accurately considered patterns of pancreatic failure rather than single diseases. Type 1 is due to autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing cells, while type 2 and gestational diabetes are due to insulin resistance by tissues. Type 2 may progress to destruction of the insulin producing cells of the pancreas, but is still considered Type 2, even though insulin administration may be required..

Since the first therapeutic use of insulin (1921) diabetes has been a treatable but chronic condition, and the main risks to health are its characteristic long-term complications. These include cardiovascular disease (doubled risk), chronic renal failure (it is the main cause for dialysis in developed world adults), retinal damage which can lead to blindness and is the most significant cause of adult blindness in the non-elderly in the developed world, nerve damage, erectile dysfunction (impotence), to gangrene with risk of amputation of toes, feet, and even legs.

Answer 8

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

After I was diagnosed at 29 I wanted to try anything at all to get better. I had tingling in my arms, numbness, eye sight problems, and my legs would cramp up after long walks. After trying this program https://tr.im/remissiondiabeteslZtv and following it exactly I am happy to say that my pains are going away! I am feeling way better now than I've ever felt before. Blood sugar is normalized and no numbness. My eyes are even getting better. It was hard at first, changing so many things in my died. I never knew how absolutely horrendous the food that I was eating was. I was slowly killing myself and didn't even know it. But after sticking to it, I am now much better. Make sure to take vitamins and drink lots of water. Great job!
