what symptoms would precede someone going from type 2 to type 1?
would it be the normal diabetes symptoms showing up again?
how fast could the change take place - ie, going from having stable type 2 with few symptoms to major symptoms again

m_c_m_a_n is right...you cant go from type 2 to type 1 or from type 1 to type 2.
if you're on pills to treat type 2 and showing signs of high blood sugar, that probably means that the pills arent working for you and that u might have to go on insulin...and yes, type 1's do take insulin to treat their diabetes...but the difference between a type 1 taking insulin and a type 2 taking insulin is that a type 1 must take a shot with every meal...while a type 2 might only take a shot once a day...and i believe insulin for a type 1 is a bit different than insulin for a type 2. it would be the normal diabetes symptoms and the change would probably within a few days to a week

It is true. Type 2 can "become type 1" - in a way. As stated above, the pancreas in a type II diabetic can stop producing any insulin at all, requiring the administration of outside insulin to the patient to keep them alive.
Type I diabetes is caused by the pancreas producing no insulin - but others above are also correct in saying you can't cross-over types, because you really don't become type I, you just need insulin, like type I's do from the day they are diagnosed.
As a type II, the most important thing you need to do is balance your medications, diet and exercise (to your own ability) to keep your blood glucose down to levels that are not causing damage to the body. The way to know is to measure it with a glucose meter.
That's the symptom to look for - when you just can't keep your glucose down low enough anymore, according to the meter. You may also notice increased thirst, urination and other typical symptoms, but you may not notice anything at all, which is why it is critical to measure your glucose frequently.
I had a diabetes specialist tell me that all Type II patients will eventually need insulin.
The latest studies show that the risk of serious injury can be reduced greatly by tight control of the glucose levels consistently over time.
However, you must use a meter. It is taking a serious risk to just go by how you feel. The risks are blindness, heart attack, stroke - things you really want to avoid!

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.

It is NOT true. Type 2 doesn't become Type 1. You can, however, suffer with both Type 1 and Type 2 at the same time ... although this is comparatively rare.
Type 1 can develop in people who suffer LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults) even though they were originally diagnosed with Type 2.
For people that are not aware, Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disorder. Type 2 diabetes mellitus surrounds either the pancreas not producing sufficient insulin, or the body developing resistance to the effects of insulin.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/dwJzV
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

You can't change your type of diabetes. Type 2 is mainly due to insulin resistance, it develops later in life mainly caused by obesity, though there is a genetic predisposition.
Type 1 is primarily due to insulin lack, caused by islet cell failure and is an auto-immune type disease.
Perhaps you are being confused by the fact that increasingly severe type 2 disease is being treated with insulin?

After many years with type 2 it is possible for your pancreas to stop working all together and you would end up type 1.
Your endo will keep track of your sugars and can even check your insulin output.
Talk to your doctors.
