what does diabetes type one and diabetes type two have incommon?
81159
Both are diagnosed based on high blood sugar readings and have the same symptoms- including thirst, hunger, weight lose, unusually high amount of urinating, and fatigue.  Both require careful blood glucose monitoring, and both have the same complications- neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney failure, heart disease- if not controlled.

Type 1 diabetes is genetic and you take insulin until you die. Nothing really helps it. Type 2 is very different and almost always caused by people getting fat and having not enough muscle. If that is what you have, then on below site the last paragraph under "exercise" explains the benefit of you having it.\n\nThe rest of the site covers many foods that are good for it and why and includes a quote from American Diabetes Assoc. Note-- if you have type 2 diabetes and are slim and fit then completely ignore this advice and site. If you become slim and fit the need for it will be gone and it will disappear.

Insufficient insulin levels lead to hyperglycemia, which is an abnormally high blood glucose (sugar) level. The overall medical condition is called diabetes.\n\nType I diabetes occurs when your immune system destroys the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, which produce insulin.\n\nType II diabetes occurs when the pancreas produces the correct amount of insulin, but either the insulin is defective or the cells that require insulin for glucose uptake become resistant to insulin. \n\nTherefore, if your pancreas isn't making ENOUGH insulin, it is probably due to Type I diabetes.

My mother is type 2--she did lose her sight for awhile and didn't know it was because of diabetes-she kept going to her eye doctor (who didn't' know she was a diabetic) and kept getting a different prescription for her glasses! When you are a diabetic, it can fluctuate your eye sight as your sugar is up-your eye sight is sensitive to your sugar levels. Both of my parents and grandparents are diabetics, my grandpa is type-1 he still can see! I think your eye sight will go depending on how you take care of yourself-Always make sure that your eye doctor knows that you are a diabetic. Keep taking care of your diabetes it is very serious if you do not take good care of your self!

biebetes? do you mean diabetes?

Nope, not at all. In fact, scientists aren't even sure where or how people pick up type one diabetes, so don't go beating up yourself.\n\n\n\nType two is caused by many things- being overweight, an unhealthy lifestyle, age, genetics, and a few other things.\n\nType two diabetes are usually adults. Children rarely get type two.\n\nType two diabetes can sometimes be controlled by diet and exercise, although many type two diabetics take oral medication.\n\nType two diabetics have to take shots. x.x

Type 2 means you just need to control your blood sugar.  There are no foods you CAN'T eat, just a lot you should cut down on.\n\nSimply enough, go easy on carbs.  Pasta, bread and rice as well as anything with sugar in it.  And that includes natural sugars, so go easy on fruit as well as baked good and candy.

It has a lot to do with the type of diabetes that you have. Type 1 diabetes is not controllable with diet, simply because the body is not producing any insulin. In Type 1, you have to inject insulin to survive. \nType 2 diabetes is very controllable with diet in some cases. If your case is mild and in good control, then you can keep your levels in check just by watching what you eat. \nFollow your doctor's prescribed treatment plan though. If you are prescribed medication, don't stop taking it and attempt to use just diet to treat. Keep taking your meds if you are on any. And, before you alter your diet any, talk to your doctor... just to make sure that you have everything you need. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

I assume you mean Type II Diabetes (unless you're young).\n\nThe symptoms of Type II often take a long time to appear and you can feel well with the condition for a while.\n\nThe classic symptoms are; passing water often, being thirsty often,  being hungry often and loosing weight. It might also present as blurred vision or a loss of sensation in the extremities.\n\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/med/topic547.htm

Type 1 Diabetes: Also called juvenile diabetes or early-onset diabetes. Seen in young adults. Thought to be due to destruction of beta-islet cells of pancreas(that secrete insulin) by an immune mediated process. Only treatment is life-long insulin supplementation.\n\nType 2 Diabetes: Usually seen in middle-aged obese people. It is thought to occur due to resistance of body cells to the action of insulin. It is treated by drugs that increase the senstiveness of body cells to action of insulin or increase the release of insulin from pancreas. May need insulin supplementation as disease progresses/worsens. It can be prevented by maintaing proper body weight; taking less of high-calorie food-stuffs; exercising regularly.

if you're type 1 you'll have to have insulin\nif you're type 2 you can just regulate your diet and excercise

Insulin.  In Type 1 diabetes mellitus, the cells of the pancreas produce little or no insulin to regulate blood glucose level appropriately.  It can occur at any age, but usually starts in people younger than 30.  It also has a strong genetic link.

Yes, it's called Double Diabetes and it's getting more common.  The diagnosis will remain type 1 however, but oral meds may need to be added.

INTRODUCTION — Insulin is used in the treatment of patients with diabetes of all types. The need for insulin depends upon the balance between insulin secretion and insulin resistance. All patients with type 1 diabetes need insulin treatment permanently, unless they receive an islet or whole organ pancreas transplant; many patients with type 2 diabetes will require insulin as their beta cell function declines over time.\n\nIndications for insulin therapy, available formulations of insulin, insulin pharmacokinetics, and determinants of efficacy will be reviewed here. The specifics of insulin therapy for type 1 and type 2 diabetes and intensive insulin therapy for critically ill patients who become hyperglycemic are discussed separately. (See "Insulin therapy in type 1 diabetes mellitus", and see "Insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus" and see "Nutritional support in the critically ill", section on Glucose control).\n\nWHICH PATIENTS NEED INSULIN — Insulin should be given to all patients with type 1 diabetes, which is due to autoimmune islet-cell injury that eventually leads to virtually complete insulin deficiency. (See "Pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus"). The peak incidence of type 1 diabetes is around the time of puberty, but about 25 percent of cases present after 35 years of age [1]. Insulin is also indicated for patients with secondary diabetes due to pancreatic insufficiency, as well as in many patients with type 2 diabetes to manage hyperglycemia.\n\nClinical features which, if present in a patient with diabetes at any age, suggest the need for insulin therapy include marked and otherwise unexplained recent weight loss (irrespective of the initial weight), a short history with severe symptoms, and the presence of moderate to heavy ketonuria. Diabetic ketoacidosis at first presentation usually indicates that the patient has type 1 diabetes and will require lifelong insulin treatment. However, some patients with type 2 diabetes, especially in the Afro-Caribbean populations (so-called "Flatbush diabetes"), may present with ketoacidosis [2]. (See "Classification of diabetes mellitus and genetic diabetic syndromes").\n\nA more difficult question is when to use insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes. This disorder is characterized by both insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. Therapy should begin with diet, weight reduction, and exercise, which can frequently induce normoglycemia if compliance is optimal. Patients with persistent hyperglycemia are often started on one or more oral hypoglycemic drugs. Metformin is a good early choice, based on its safety profile, neutral effect with regard to weight gain, and ability to lower glycemia. Insulin is added if goal glycemic control is not attained. (See "Glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus: Initial treatment"). Initiation of insulin therapy, however, is often unnecessarily delayed, owing to physician or patient reluctance and other factors, thus exposing patients to the physiological consequences of prolonged hyperglycemia.\n\nPatient preconceptions about use of insulin need to be addressed (show table 1) [3]. Earlier intervention with insulin in type 2 diabetes has been shown to result in long-term remissions with normal glycemia and no need for hypoglycemic medications [4]. (See "Insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus").\n\nINSULIN PREPARATIONS \n\nStandard preparations — Standard insulin preparations can be divided into two basic categories:\n\nIntermediate- to long-acting preparations (NPH, detemir, or glargine) are typically administered once or twice daily to provide basal insulin levels that suppress hepatic glucose production and maintain near normoglycemia in the fasting state. Intermediate-acting insulin (NPH) also provides some peak coverage for breakfast and lunch intake, although not as physiologic as replacement with faster-acting insulin giv
