supasi Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Type one is Insulin Dependant. Meaning, you must inject insulin on a daily basis.For me its 4 times a day , more if required. Type two is usually controlled by diet, pills and sometime insulin injections.( this is the one you hear all the health programmes on TV going on about as it is usually caused by lifestyle) I am type one( Less than 10% of diabetics are type one) Used to be know as adolescent diabetes as it usually occurs in younger people and does not have a known cause.Possibly genetic! I just wanted to know who else was type one like me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'm probably doomed to become type 2. I have, last time I made a proper count, something like 6 relatives between my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles that are type 1 or type 2. My doctor even said, after my wife was diagnosed as type 1, that she probably caught it from my family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
