You don't get Diabetes from blood loss. Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease of absolute or relative insulin deficiency or resistance. The causes of Diabetes Mellitus Type I and II remain unknown. Risk factors for type I include autoimmune disease and viral infections. Risk factors for type II include obesity, family history of DM, high density lipoprotein levels less than or equal to 35 mg/dl or triglycerides greater than or equal to 250 mg/dl, hypertension, and age greater or equal to 45.
What you get from blood loss (excessive) is hypovolemic shock and hypotension.

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.

That's not a stupid question. in fact I'm going to star it because the questions that we're afraid to ask because we're afraid of how we might look - are the hardest ones to ask!
No you can't get diabetes from loss of blood. Type 1 "gets you" you dont get it. It is sometimes hereditary, more often though, your body turns against itself, specifically the insulin producing cells. It doesn't matter how well you eat, or how much exercise you get. the non-hereditary onset is usually (though not always) preceded by a virus. The virus is not the same from person to person, nor is the gap between virus and onset. Makes it impossible to prevent.
Type 2 is primarily hereditary. So if there's type 2 in your family, pay attention to your health because you could be predisposed. Only time will tell. Diet and exercise plays a part in type 2, though it doesn't cause the disease. If you're predisposed to type 2, you can put it off by eating right and taking care of yourself. Likewise, you can speed up its onset by eating crap and watching TV all day. With type 2, the body still makes insulin, but it's insufficient/ineffective. Type 1 is the inability to make insulin at all. Your body needs both sugar and insulin to make fat cells. It's a simple recipe and it needs both ingredients!

NO. Diabetes is caused by relative lack of insulin in the body. In type one diabetes which occurs early in life there is insufficient production of insulin by the beta cells of the pancreas.
In type two which occurs later in life there may be some deficiency of insulin but there is also resistance to the action of insulin.

No. There are different types of diabetes. Type 1 is mostly caused by genetic predisposition. Type 2 is usually caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Here's a site with more info:

Diabetes is insulin deficiency or resistance to it action. Blood loss does not do any of above.

no, blood loss has nothing to do with diabetes. your pancreas has everything to do with diabetes. diabetes can occur either genetically, or just occur when the pancreas doesnt produce enough insulin.
