how do the three main types of diabetes differ?

Question

the three main types are type1 & 2 also gestational

Answer 1

Type 1: insulin dependent. Formerly called juvenile diabetes. Oral meds will not work. Must adhere to diet and exercise regimen. Must take insulin shots (two or more a day) or use an insulin pump to survive. Does not have a strong genetic connection. Typically occurs in childhood or teen years but can happen in adults. Rare to see it happen after age 20. Even more rare to happen after age 30. Estimated 10-15% of diabetics are type 1.

Type 2: non insulin dependent (in most cases). Can often be controlled with diet and exercise and use of oral medications. Some type 2s take insulin. Tends to be related to weight and sedentary lifestyle. Occurs most often in adults but has been seen in childhood and teen years. Has a strong genetic connection. It does run in families. Estimated 85-90% of diabetics are type 2.

Gestational: Occurs in pregnancy. Often goes away with birth of baby. Women who develop gestational diabetes have higher occurences of type 2 later in life. Babies tend to be of higher birthweight (10 pounds or more). Women with GD may take insulin during pregnancy. Tends to happen more with African American females.

Answer 4

Type I Diabetes (Juvenile Diabetes) is caused by the inability of the pancreas to create insulin, so the person must take insulin shots several times a day to regulate their insulin. Type II Diabetics (Adult Onset) means the person still is producing insulin, but the body is not processily it properly, causing sugar to build up in the blood stream. Type II Diabetics may have to take insulin, but many can be controlled by either daily medication or even diet. Gestational diabetes only occurs while the woman is pregnant--once the baby is born, the diabetes will go away.

Answer 5

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

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

Answer 6

Type 1 diabetics are usually those diagnosed in childhood and are insulin dependent. Type 2 is also called Adult Onset Diabetes and usually happens to older people. I was diagnosed last August. I got type 2 due to being overweight and the fact that my Aunt was also diagnosed with it just before she died. It can be controlled by pills, diet and exercise. Gestational I believe is found in pregnant women and sometimes goes away once the baby is born. My neighbour had it before she had her twins and now she is fine.

Answer 7

High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all. How to treat diabetes naturally https://tr.im/XJDwb

Increased appetite
Fatigue
Blurred vision

Impotence in men



If you think you have diabetes i think you should have a checkup and speak with your doctor just in case.

Answer 8

There is also another type and that is Type 1.5 (or Latent onset Type1....which I am). This type is usually misdiagnosed as type2 because of the age of onset. I was 40 when misdiagnosed.
These types are usually NOT over-weight and present with elevated glucose but does not respond to oral meds, diet, or exercise. Insulin is the ONLY therapy as in T1. Our pancreas does not produce any insulin as opposed to the T2 who does produce insulin but their bodies are not able to utilize it well.
I went from diet/exercise, orals, orals/insulin, then to insulin only in a matter of 8 months after diagnosis. Am now on an insulin pump.
