Diabetes happens to people of all sizes. There are two types of diabetes. Insulin and non-insulin dependent. Insulin dependent (IDDM) do not make the insulin required to control blood sugar. Non-insulin dependent (NIDDM) make the insulin but do not release it from the pancreas. Therefore, IDDM patients need to inject insulin, where NIDDM patients take an oral medication to release the insulin from the pancreas. Diabetes can run in families. Some heavier people become NIDDM because of their size, and if they lose weight, they sometimes no longer need the medication. IDDM patients will always need to inject insulin. If an IDDM patient takes their insulin, and then doesn't eat enough or exercises too much, the blood sugar can become low. This can be dangerous, so IDDM patients should always carry hard candy for emergencies. Many IDDM patients know their bodies so well, they can tell what their blood sugar is doing and take the proper steps to correct before it becomes an emergency situation. In any event, it is important for any diabetic to control their blood sugar carefully to avoid doing damage to other organs in their body.

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.

Half of the people here don't know what they're on about.

You could eat no sugar ever and still get type one, it has nothing to do with you whatsoever.

It's mostly random, some people are just born more likely to develop it.

Especially if it sort of runs in the family, but even people with no history of diabetes can get it, like me. With that, your immune system attacks the beta cells in the pancreas and makes it unable to produce insulin, so you need to take it yourself.

Type two is what overweight people have a likely chance of getting, though those with healthy diet can get it too, that's when the body doesn't make enough insulin or the cells in your body cannot use it well, you take pills and watch your diet for it.

Hope that clears things up.

Type 1 is congenital, meaning you're born with it. It is diagnosed at a young age and has nothing to do with weight. Type 1 diabetics do take insulin.

Type 2 diabetes is the insulin resistant type. This is type that most adults have because it is developed because of obesity and diet. They can also become insulin dependent if they're blood sugar is not controlled on oral medications.

Normally yes, but that was before. Now, there are also Diabetes Type 2 for children. So, it would not be correct that only Type 1 is for children.

Just wanted to say that i agree with the person who previously put that most people haven't a clue what they are on about!

Type 1 is an auto immune disease, most type 1's are a normal weight. the gene is normally passed down through your family but it doesn't mean that you would develop it. I got diagnosed with type 1 at age 35 and i am of normal weight and no one in my family have got it. I am on insulin for life and have to inject before i eat, type 1 diabetes normally have low sugar episodes (hypos) with them taking insulin as sometimes it could be that uve taken too much, this is put right by having some jelly babies or a sugary drink, you can normally feel these coming on as you get hot, glassy eyed. If you let it get too low you can become unconscious and if this happens you are given a injection of glucagen to empty your liver of your stores of insulin. Luckily this has only happened to me once. They idea that you get type 1 if you eat too much sugar is rubbish, before i got it i eat really healthy.

With type 2 that normally effects people who are overweight, this is normally controlled by diet, exercise and sometimes tablets.

Unfortunately there is too many myths about diabetes, with most of them being rubbish. If you want to learn any more info i recommend this site

deb s gave lots of information, but to put it simply there are two different types of diabetes.

Type 1. This for of diabetes occurs not from what you eat, it is when your pancreas stops producing insulin. (a natural hormone that breaks down sugars and carbohydrates)

Type 2. This is what you were thinking of. its when the body can't utalize the insulin as well due to size, what you eat, etc.
