Difference between shots and pills for diabetes?
Pills are for Type 2 diabetics. Type 1 diabetics use shots or an insulin pump.
Is it true or false that type 2 diabetics may reflect declining receptors sensitivity to insulin rather than decrease insulin production?
true
What is the difference between a Type-1 diabetic and an insulin-dependent diabetic?
Type-1 diabetics are generally insulin-dependent, but not all insulin-dependent diabetics are type-1. Type-1 refers to how the patient contracted diabetes -- by having their pancreatic beta cells stop producing insulin, usually due to an autoimmune disorder. Type-2 diabetics became diabetic through a combination of genetic and lifestyle problems that reduced insulin production and/or increased insulin resistance. Type-2 diabetics usually begin treatment with diet changes and oral medications that increase insulin production or reduce resistance, rather than taking injections of actual insulin. But a Type-2 diabetic may become insulin-dependent over time, if treatment isn't effective. The high blood sugar can attack the pancreas (through oxidative stress and amyloidosis), reducing insulin production until even oral medications are no longer adequate.
What are insulin dependent diabetics?
Both types of diabetes can require injections of insulin. Type 1 Diabetics need insulin injections, while Type 2 Diabetics usually do not. However, due to certain circumstances, Type 2 Diabetics do need insulin injections.
Can a diabetic eat mashed potatoes?
It depends. It varies from person to person. For example, some diabetics (particularly diabetics type 1) who are using insulin can eat a small to moderate amount. Whereas some diabetics type 2 who do not need to take insulin (some type 2s do, others do not) can eat only a tiny amount or none whatsoever.
Why diabete insulin cannot made a pill same as diabete?
Because type 2 diabetics have a different problem from type 1 diabetics. in type 2, your pancreas is producing a mutated version of insulin, and this can be fixed through certain drugs needing to be taken in the form of a pill. in type one, you don't produce any insulin and you have to inject the insulin in to your body to cover the deficiency. there are alternatives, however, thy make a automated pump you can use, and there is a inhalable version as well.
Is type 2 diabetes known as insulin-dependent diabetes?
No. Type 1 diabetes is known as insulin-dependent or juvenile onset diabetes. The causes of type 2 diabetes can either be a lack of insulin sensitivity or insulin production problem. Some people with type 2 diabetes take insulin, but it is not known as insulin-dependent diabetes.
What is diabeties type 2?
Tyoe 2 diabetes, usually seen in overweight adults, is when the pancreas makes insulin but the body does not respond to it well. Type 2 diabetics can often take pills to help them release more insulin or use it better. Type 1 diabetes, usually seen in children, is a deficiency of insulin so they always need to inject replacement insulin
How can diabetes be controlled by exercising?
Yes and no. Type 2 diabetics are able to control their blood sugar levels by exercising. Type 1 diabetics must use insulin, however exercise does help them keep a lower blood sugar level.
Are the foods good for type 1 diabetics also good for the type 2's?
No. Type 2 diabetes is more severe, and many of the type 1 diabetics' food do not work for type 2 diabetics. However, foods good for type 2 diabetics will be interexchange able with type 1 diabetics.
Type 2 diabetes is known as non insulin dependent diabetes?
True, at first, though type II diabetics can deteriorate if not adequately treated. If they deteriorate far enough, they may become insulin-dependent. Even so, they don't become "Type-1" diabetics.
How is technology used to diagnose or treat type 2 diabetes?
Insulin is used to monitor the levels of blood sugar in diabetics. It can be diagnosed with a blood test.
