What happens when you get Diabetes Type 1?
Is it diabetes type 1 when you just can’t eat to much sugar, or is that 2?
How does diabetes type 1 affect your life?
Diabetes type 1 happens when your body attacks your pancreas. The pancreas is an organ just under your stomach. In type1 diabetics, the body sees this organ (somehow) as a foreign body and it attacks and kills it. The pancreas makes insulin, which your muscles and other tissues need to convert sugar to energy, so if you’re a type 1 you need to take insulin. You need to inject insulin, but they’re working on insulin nasal spray!
Type 2 diabetes is different. Your pancreas is fine, you have enough insulin, but your tissues are insulin resistant. The result is very similar–sugar builds up in the blood and causes ‘complications’ like blindness, circulatory problems, kidney failure, etc. In both types you have to be careful what you eat, and to monitor your blood sugar levels.
Diabetes Type 1 Diet
If you have either kind of diabetes and you take care of yourself–watch your diet, do your meds, get some exercise (very important), you will live a normal life, pretty much. There are foods you have to stay away from, not just sugar but all kinds of carbohydrates. You can eat ‘a little’ of anything, it’s not like allergies, but you have to really watch it.
Insulin Level in Diabetes Type 1
With diabetes type 1 you have to calculate the correct dosage of insulin for what you are eating. If you -don’t- take care of it, you can get into trouble. Well, even if you are careful you can get into trouble. Diabetes is the biggest cause of blindness in the US, the biggest cause of amputations (from gangrene caused by damaged circulation) and of kidney failure. It also causes atherosclerosis (‘hardening of the arteries’).
I just have to watch what I eat, and get some exercise. I have diabetes type 1, and I feel just great most of the time.
