i am feeling great!
it was wierd cuz i guess i sort of forgot what feeling normal felt like until i started taking insulin! seriously just 3 days after being on the medication i've gained all the water weight i've lost in my body back due to the high suger in my blood...i'm not thirsty anymore, or as tired and things are functioning more normally now! |

My dad has it...but in my case that doesn't mean anything since I'm adopted, so the genetic thing doesn't quite pass on...although he has had a few side-effects due to lack of proper persoal care...but I've met one of my birth parents and I'm not a candidate, genetically speaking...however, I do know someone who has a reasonably serious side-effect that, to the best of knowledge, is more-or-less random, but whose onset can be aided by lack of proper care of oneself...so best of advice, if you have diabetes, do your best to look after yourself...its one thing to think you're invincible (especially in the age range that most peeps on this board are in), it's quite another to really be invincible...and some of the complications can be worse than the malady itself...trust me, I've seen it first hand...

Type 1 diabetes develops when an autoimmune reaction causes the pancreas to stop producing insulin. no one knows how you get it..it just sorta happens.
in other words this means that the body creates antibodies against its own cells. When this happens, it means that you can no longer make your own insulin so you have to inject it yourself. type 2 on the other hand is genetic and it is usually people who are overweight and that have issues with diet that get it. |
