Type 1 Diabetes for dummies


Type 1 or Juvenile Diabetes is not caused by diet or lifestyle.  It cannot be prevented.  It's an auto-immune disease that occurs when the body's immune system malfunctions and mistakenly destroys the cells that produce insulin. 

Juvenile or Type 1 Diabetes usually strikes children and is different from Type 2 in that it can never be controlled by diet and lifestyle alone.  Since the insulin producing cells are dead, all Type 1s NEED to inject insulin to stay alive.  Insulin cannot be taken orally, it must be injected multiple times per day or continuously via a catheter inserted into the skin attached to an insulin pump.  Without injected insulin, the Type 1 diabetic would eventually slip into a coma and die.  This was always the outcome before the discovery of insulin.

Injecting synthetic insulin to replace the insulin no longer produced by the pancreas is the easy part of the Type 1 diabetic treatment.  Along with the destruction of the insulin producing cells in the pancreas, Type 1 diabetics also lose the very complex ability to maintain normal blood sugar concentration.  Every minute of every day, the non-diabetic body is automatically making tiny adjustments using various hormones...etc... to ensure that blood glucose (sugar) values are in check.  This is no longer the case in a Type 1 diabetic who has to try to manually maintain these blood glucose values as close to normal as possible.  Insulin and food are only part of the blood glucose balance equation.  Everything from nervousnous, stress, fatigue, physical activity, viruses...etc... affect blood sugar.  This makes the task of normalizing Type 1 blood sugars very difficult if not impossible.  Even if you do everything right there will be times when your blood sugar is either too high or too low...  And then there are the very scary low lows like this one.

So now, without a healthy pancreas to normalize blood sugar levels, the Type 1 diabetic is at risk whenever these levels are out of range.  Even with "good control", blood glucose values are out of the normal range often (daily or even many times during each day).  Too low could lead to a seizure or even death.  Too high will lead to long term complications such as retinopathy, amputation, kidney failure...

Insulin is by no means a cure.  It keeps the Type 1 diabetic alive and has made the disease no longer terminal, but it still is only one piece of the puzzle required to normalize blood glucose.

Hello friends,

But actually there is a way to help get rid of diabetes for good. This is not fiction. You can read more on this site

I really love people who are suffering diabetes but still fighting to live and don't even think that they are suffering. I just have to keep in mind that if you are a diabetic person. Be sure to throw the used insulin in a sharps container to avoid injuring people and spreading of infections that cause serious health conditions. The most common infections are Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

For many years I suffered from diabetes. Over the years I have lost thousands of dollars on medications and treatment.
I never thought that the problems of diabetes can be eliminated without drugs. A couple of months ago, I saw a man comment.
The man wrote about the site through which got rid of diabetes.
I went to this site and was shocked by the information. Through this site, I was free from diabetes. Details can be found on this website.

Do anyone still doubt natural herbs? I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I wonder why people still spend their money on surgery, injections and drugs each time they are sick. Natural herbs can cure all kinds of illness including Herpes, Diabetics, Asthma, HIV, Hepatitis, etc. I've seen it with my own eyes. I was cured of HIV and my aunt and her husband were cured of Herpes by Dr. Iyoha who uses natural herbs to cure different kind of illness. Even Dr. Iyoha prove to the world that natural herbs can cure all illness and he cured countless people using his natural herbs. I know is hard to believe but I & my FAMILY are a living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs. He is also a spell caster, he cast spell to restore marriages back to normal, a good luck spell to prosper and excel in life. Contact Dr. Iyoha on: driyohasolutiontemple@yahoo.com or Phone number: +1 (407) 337-9869

CURE TO DIABETES WITHOUT ANY SIDE EFFECT: My daughter was diagnosed with diabetes . My daughter diabetes was something i don't understand she cry so bad that she was usually in bed for about 8 hours and soreness killers (even prescription strength) don't stop the crying even if she take triple the dosage. my daughter symptoms was really so terrible,that we have to make hospital our home, and all the doctors would do is monitor it, prescribe him countless of control pills and pain medication with no positive result. until recently I contacted a Doctor who put an end to this problem. If you are having same problem with diabetes contact Dr. William for advice and possible solution without any side effect drwilliams098675@gmail.com

What an wonderful post. Very nice to read. I very much appreciate the way you have provided extremely useful information about type one diabetes. These days people in general are extremely concerned about diabetes and always on the lookout for an effective solution. Recently I came across a book called "The 7 Steps to Health and the Big Diabetes Lie". Trust me the book practically breaks hundreds of myths related to the disease and provides an effective solution. I have found it extremely useful and effective. Maybe you can also read it out at once.

As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from diabetes type 2 , i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My husband was diagnosed of diabetes and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he had difficulty eating, and he always complain of stomach pain and he always have frequent urination . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to diabetes . I never imagine diabetes has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. diabetes has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony

Diabetes is reversible. I am talking about the most common form of diabetes which is type 2.

I have reversed it in so many cases myself and there are documented cases of thousands of people who have reversed diabetes with the help of experts.

Glucose is the sugar which is used by every cell of the body to produce energy. This is carried by a hormone insulin to most of the cells. When sugar levels are high, the cells do not allow sugar inside and that is when we say Insulin has become ineffective. i.e. Insulin sensitivity has come down and the condition is known as Diabetes when excess sugar starts to circulate in the blood.

Even the fat cells no longer store sugar. So any activity which burns energy will make your insulin sensitive and push glucose inside the cells reducing your sugar levels in the blood. When the intake of sugar is reduced, a similar result is observed.

It takes a long time for the body to reverse diabetes and the body needs a lot of nutrients, as in a diabetic State the body is depleted of many nutrients.

Diabetics are prone to infection and other chronic diseases like kidney failure, heart disease etc.

Therefore it is important that you reverse the diabetes with a controlled and customized diet and not by yo yo dieting like reducing food intake. I definitely think that every parent needs to check out the site www.DiabetesReversalTactics.info if you’re serious about reversing your type 2 diabetes.

Good luck!
