Answer 4

There is a condition called 'double diabetes,' which means that a person has both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, both of which are completely different diseases- one did not cause the other. In the case of a type 1 becoming a type 2 diabetic as well, poor diet can lead to becoming overweight, triggering insulin resistance- thus, they are both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. In the case of a type 2 diabetic becoming a type 1 diabetic as well, it's just a matter of luck- someone is bound to be the person those two conditions exist in. They are, then, both a type 2 and a type 1 diabetic. But remember, one does not cause the other. Type 2 diabetes can lead to complete insulin dependency, but this is NOT type 1 diabetes. It is simply the natural progression of type 2 diabetes.

Answer 5

There are several reasons for Type 2 diagnosis being on the rise. Number one reason is the lack of exercise vs. the number of calories children take in. Instead of going outside with their friends like they did just a few decades ago, children are glued to the TV, computer and video games. The foods are convenience foods which are loaded with fat and preservatives.

You will get varied opinions on the topics of hormones in meats, drinking cows milk, family predispositions, vaccine induced diabetes, viral triggers, chemicals in water, they just go on and on.

From what I have read though, not too many skinny children are being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. This leaves diet and lack of exercise to be the main culprit.

Sadly it is what most of them are being feed in their homes or if teens, what they eat ate home and away from home. Losing weight if you are Type-2 diabetes can bring you back to a non-diabetic state, especially in children.

Some children, some adults do get type-2 diabetes as a complication of having other health issues.

Answer 8

Along with diet, and lack of exercise, I was told many years ago, that the pancreas malfunctions, not making enough (if any at all) of the insulin our bodies produce to help balance the blood glucose (sugars) in our bodies after we eat. Getting out to run, walk, play games, is more fun than sitting in front of tv, vidoe games, etc. Take care.

Answer 9

Nettie is correct. They are not engaging in enough physical avtivities and also eating foods that are high in fat which results into weight gain to eventually obesity leading to high risk for many health problems including diabetes.

Answer 10

Because they eat fatty and sugary food, while doing very little excercise and so, become obese, which naturally puts you at higher risk for diabetes.

Answer 11

Fats are overloading the body. Our diets consist of fast food, lunch foods filled with dead fillers and preservatives. Soda pops and sugar drinks adding to the daily overload. It is very serious. Then we need help to recondition ourselves to eat so we don't kill ourselves...like for instance, a healthy diet
