    @madfish94 no way is type 1 worse, I’ll take type 1 any day. It is not uncommon for type 1 diabetics to be full athletes. there is a whole tour de france cyclist team of type 1 diabetics.

    Type 2 are people who are un active, overweight, eat poor foods, or older.

    Type 1 = healthy people who are born with the pancreas not working correctly. all you they need to do is take a injection of Insulin, and there bodies function normal.

    hey xxfrutixx. you cant “LOSE” type 2 diabetes. you can only control it through modifiable life style changes such AS losing weight, exercise, sodium restriction etc. you can never “LOSE” diabetes, you can only control it. Diabetes is life long and if its not controlled it can definitely become worse than type 1. you should really consider your choice of words. you cant LOSE you can only CONTROL AND PREVENT.

    does any one know about glucose toxicity induced insulin resistance? lot of research is going on regards to the glucose flux through hexosamine pathway, induced insulin resistance playing a major role in type II diabetes

    Type 1 = Pancreas provides little or no insulin

    Type 2 = Pancreas provides little insulin

    If you are still puzzled Type 1 is worse as it may provide no insulin.

    High level glucose can lead to all those symptoms, it doesn’t matter wheter is because of type 1 or type 2 diabetes. In type 1 diabtes you DON’T have enough insulin, in type 2 diabetes you might have insulin but your body is not responding to it. No matter the reason, if you have high level glucose for a long period of time, you’ll suffer al those problems.

    wow type 1 and type 2 are two different categories. I am taking metformin for mine. I have mistaken 2k for 4k pills. I almost passed out. Well I have to watch myself before it gets worst. I have also changed my diet. I have lost over 50+ in weight. that is american pounds okay. I hope there is a cure for this.
