What is the difference between Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes?

Type 1 (aka Juvenile--usu. In young people): Pancreas doesn't make any insulin, usu. Because the immune system attacked it.

Requires insulin injections. Type 2 (aka Adult-onset): Most common. Pancreas makes insulin, but the body doesn't use it right.

Type 2 usually develops over time, especially in people who are obese, and can often be controlled with diet and/or oral medications, but sometimes also requires insulin injections. In either type, if enough insulin isn't available to transport sugar into the cells where it can be used as "fuel," the sugar stays in the blood, where high blood glucose levels can cause various serious problems, especially over time. One theory about Type 2 Diabetes in people who are overweight or obese is that fat somehow blocks insulin receptors on cells.

Those who develop Type 2 Diabetes are often "pre-Diabetic", or insulin resistant, first, and may possibly avoid full-blown diabetes by changing their eating habits, getting more exercise, and losing weight. Making these changes can also reverse diabetes in many people, decreasing (or sometimes even eliminating) the need for medication.

Type 1 diabetes is also known as insulin dependent or juvenile diabetes. Quoting MedlinePlus: "With Type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not make insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into your cells to give them energy.

Without insulin, too much glucose stays in your blood. Over time, high blood glucose can lead to serious problems with your heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and gums and teeth. Type 1 diabetes happens most often in children and young adults but can appear at any age."

Type 2 diabetes is more often diagnosed in adulthood. Again quoting MedlinePlus" "With Type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well...Symptoms of Type 2 diabetes may include fatigue, thirst, weight loss, blurred vision and frequent urination. Some people have no symptoms.

A blood test can show if you have diabetes. " See also diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/type1and2.

In Type 1 diabetes, the body stops making insulin or makes only a small amount. Since insulin cannot be given by mouth, it is given by daily injections. In Type 2 diabetes, the body either doesn't make enough insulin, or is unable to use the insulin properly (which is called insulin resistance), or both.

In short, Type 1 is usually the one that juveniles get, and it's caused by your body's failure to make insulin. Type 2 is that the insulin just isn't as effective. It's oftentimes caused by poor diet and lack of exercise, and is usually adult onset, but an alarmingly increasing number of children have been getting it.

From Source: "What is Type 1 Diabetes? Type 1 Diabetes is a disorder in which the body does not produce insulin (a hormone that aids in moving sugar from the blood to the cells). This type of diabetes can be due to a virus or autoimmune disorder in which the body does not recognize an organ as its own and attacks it.In this case the body attacks an organ known as the pancreas where insulin is made.

This type of diabetes is usually diagnosed before age 40. What is the treatment for Type 1 Diabetes? Those with Type 1 Diabetes are required to take insulin injections to move sugar from the bloodstream.

What about Type 2 Diabetes? Type 2 Diabetes occurs when insulin that the body produces is less efficient at moving sugar out of the bloodstream. Some sugar is moved out of the blood, just not as effectively compared to a person with normal insulin efficiency.

Gh blood sugar is a result of this. Type 2 Diabetes used to be thought of as the adult onset type of diabetes. However, an alarming rate of children are now being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.

How is Type 2 Diabetes Treated? Diet, exercise, weight loss, and in many cases medication are the treatment for this type of diabetes. Occasionally, someone with Type 2 may be placed on insulin to better control blood sugar.

This type of diabetes is associated with physical inactivity and obesity.

Diabetes are broadly classified into 2 groups, they are type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. It is sub-classified into pre-diabetes and gestational diabetes. If the bodies insulin production is stopped or insufficient production is called as type 1 diabetes caused by autoimmune disorder and it is treated with insulin shots.

Type 2 diabetes is a disease when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or the muscle cells does not able to properly use the insulin.

Type I diabetes occurs when your pancreas does not create any insulin. In type II diabetes, the pancreas still produces some insulin, but not enough to process carbohydrates properly. Most type I diabetics take injections of artificial insulin.In some cases, type II diabetics are able to control their disease simply by watching what they eat and keeping an active work-out routine.

More severe type II diabetics are prescribed drugs that stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin or to lower their cells' insulin resistance. Some further information: youtube.com/watch?v=MIUBt09Iqwc diabetes.ca/ diabetes.org/home.jsp thestar.com/diabetes.

1) Type one is when the body fails to produce insulin, usually has an early onset (ie childhood) and so glucose cannot be taken up into the mucles, so floats around in the blood causing high blood sugar. Type two is when insulin is produced by the body but the body is resistant to it. 2) Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which is difficult to cure.

Management concentrates on keeping blood sugar levels as close to normal ("euglycemia") as possible without presenting undue patient danger. This can usually be with close dietary management, exercise, and use of appropriate medications (insulin only in the case of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Oral medications may be used in the case of type 2 diabetes, as well as insulin).

Xtreme NO.

Type 1 diabetes is what used to be called juvenile diabetes. This is a condition where the body does not produce insulin, a hormone needed to move sugar from the blood into the cells, allowing it to be processed and provide energy to the cells. With insulin therapy this condition can be managed and allow a long and healthy life.

About 5% - 10% of diabetes patients have this type. In type 2 diabetes the body does not produce enough insulin, or else the cells "ignore" the insulin so it cannot fulfill its function. The majority of diabetes patients have this type.

Diabetes is a disease that affects how the body uses glucose, the main type of sugar in the blood. Type 1 you are born with. Type 2 occurs when your pancreas cannot make enough insuline, mostly because its overworked.

Type 1 diabetes is when the pancreas dies and so it can no longer creates insulin, without treatment you die. Insulin as mentioned already breaks down the sugars in the food we eat, in our bodies so the body can absorb the energy from sugars. There is a whole process that goes on but to the point, without insulin our bodies cannot process the sugars to make energy and we die.

Insulin is made in the pancreas by beta cells, in type 1 these beta cells no longer produce insulin, and they are dead cells. Why do they die? Most often an early childhood illness has caused a virus to attack them and kill them.By the time symptoms occur 80 to 90 percent of the beta cells are already dead.

There is no way currently to prevent or reverse type 1 diabetes. Type one afflicts the young, usually striking around the age of 5 to early teens. Type 1 requires insulin replacement, needles!

For the rest of their lives. Type 2 is an onset of diabetes where the pancreas is weak and the beta cells do not produce sufficient insulin for good health. This type has been traced to overweight, lack of exercise, poor diet, lacking in fibre etc and combinations of all that.

This type can be treated with weight management, diet and exercise, (some herbals help as well). Usually small amounts of insulin are required to assist the body. Type 1 cannot be cured, there is research under way to find ways to replace the pancreas or use stem cell research to replace the beta cells etc. But as yet the only course of action is insulin shots and blood testing.

Type 2 can be reversed or aided through the course of action described above.My son has type 1, diagnosed at age 13, my friends father has type 2. Interesting fact, diabetes is something like 2500 years old that they found out about it. To test for it people would urinate on the ground to see if it attracted ants, if it did you had diabetes.

Why? Because the body naturally tries to get rid of excess sugar through the urine, so in people with diabetes untreated they drink constantly and urinate a lot and their urine is extremely high is sugar ... the ant attraction. In past people simply died, herbs and other treatment were used to help prolong life but that was about it until it was discovered that pigs insulin was almost the same as human and so the injections of insulin began and people lived.

Time allow for this quick answer only sorry.

Type 1 diabetes Type 1 diabetes, which occur in young people, due to a lack of insulin secretion, dependent on exogenous insulin added to sustain life. Type 2 diabetes Insulin is secreted by human pancreatic B cells within the body only hypoglycemic hormone. Diabetes because of obesity caused by many suggest that you lose weight, I can recommend a weight loss drug, meizitang slimming capsule, I've used, very good, you can try.

Eat meizitang thin capsule on the basis of the rapid weight-loss supplement the body needs energy. Here is a URL, you can learn more about. meizitang.us/ good luck!

Type 1, is what you are born with and Type 2 is generally what is developed later in life. The above descriptions of both are very well organized and well said.

Type 1 Type 1 Diabetes is also known as insulin dependent Diabetes and affects mostly children. With type 1 Diabetes, the patient always needs insulin, and this type of Diabetes cannot be treated with pills. Type 1 Diabetes cannot be cured, and it is no ones fault – not the child nor the parents.

With type 1 Diabetes, the pancreas cannot produce insulin. This is due to an autoimmune destruction (when the body produces antibodies against its own tissue) of certain cells of the pancreas. The normal functioning of the body is affected; reduced insulin production leaves the body without energy.

The reduction of insulin causes glucose levels to rise in the fluid surrounding the cells as well as the blood stream, because the glucose cannot enter the cells. The body however needs to get rid of the excess glucose and will do that via the kidneys. The high glucose level in the urine causes an excess in urine production.

This in turn causes great thirst and a craving for water. Children with type 1 Diabetes will loose energy and weight. Type 1 Diabetes will never go away but fortunately it can be treated.

Children with type 1 Diabetes cannot survive without insulin injections. As insulin is a protein, it can only be injected. Insulin is digested by the intestines.

There are two main methods of insulin delivery, insulin injections by an insulin pen and an insulin pump. The insulin pen has been developed to make diabetics lives easier. It can be kept at room temperature by wearing it like a pen in a pocket.

The insulin pump is about five to eight centimeters in size and is carried on the body, often on the side of the belly. It is a small computer, which administers small amounts of insulin to the body around the clock. With this pump, extra insulin can be injected if required, for example after an extra treat or a meal with a lot of carbohydrates.

Type2 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is mostly due to an unhealthy lifestyle and reduced insulin sensitivity. People suffering from this disorder are usually overweight and even obese. Type 2 is called "adult onset", meaning that the individual did not have the disease in the past but contracted the diabetes later in life.It's usually the result of the body becoming unable to use the insulin produced.

Many of the newer medications allow type 2 diabetics to get by without the insulin injections. The newer medications allow many people to again use the insulin that their pancreas produces.

Those with Type 1 diabetes, their bodies do not produce enough insulin, which is vital in moving sugar from the blood to cells. Insulin is produced in the pancreas and Type 1 diabetes can be caused by a virus or autoimmune disorder which attacks the pancreas, thus making it unable to produce sufficient amounts of insulin. People with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin shots to move sugar from the blood.

Generally people with Type 1 are diagnosed before the age of 40. In Type 2 diabetes, insulin moves sugar from the blood, but not as well as people with normal insulin efficiency and as a result, blood sugar levels are high. There is an association between Type 2 diabetes with inactivity, obesity and poor diet.So treatment for Type 2 diabetes is exercise and weight loss.

Medications may be given to help treat this and sometimes one with Type 2 diabetes is put on insulin.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and complex disease, which can affect the entire body. Diabetes is caused by having too much glucose (sugar) in the blood. healthy-ojas.com/diabetes/diabetes-detai... Diabetes types - classified into 2 groups they are type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
