Type 2 diabetes is typically onset in older adults as the pancreas slows down insulin production. |
Many people get Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes confused. |
It is typically diagnosed in childhood, and is insulin dependent from the onset. This means lots of shots. It is not caused from eating too much sugar! |
Type 1 is an auto- immune disease where the white blood cells attack the cells in the pancreas. |
Type 1 and 2 Have The Same Symptoms Get checked for diabetes if you have extreme thirst, frequent urination, bedwetting, weight loss, or irritability. |
It can often be prevented by a healthy diet and exercise regimen - but not always. A type 2 diabetic may never need to have insulin injections like a type 1 diabetic. |
