What Are The Differences Between Type 1 And Type 2 Diabetes?
I WAS A TYPE 2 DIABETIC IN 1980 AND AROUND 2000 I WAS TOLD I WAS NOW A TYPE 1 IS THAT BECAUSE MY PANCREAS JUST GOT WORSE ?? IS IT POSIBLE TO GO FROM TYPE 2 TO A TYPE 1 IF IT IS HOW DOES IT HAPPEN?? IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1 AND 2 ?? IS THERE SUCH A THING AS TYPE 1 AND A HALF ??
There are so many types of diabetes like 1. Type 1 2. Type 2 3. Type 3
Diabetes associated with other specific types.
But the main thing is there are two more types of diabetes called MODY also called maturity onset diabetes in the young and LADA.
These type of patients will respond to oral drugs at initial stages. Then there will be progressive decline in the beta cell function causing dependency in insulin .
So they present as type 1 diabetes in later stages from type 2 diabetes from earlier stages.
Thanks
