Yes, Type 1 Diabetes is insulin-dependent. So the medication times are pretty hectic. The patients depend on insulin to stay healthy and live longer lives.

Is type 2 diabetes also known as pre-diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is not the same thing as pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes, or borderline diabetes, is a condition where the body either slows down insulin production or cannot correctly utilize insulin. Blood sugars are slightly elevated at times without taking any oral medication. This is usually associated with obesity and can usually be corrected with proper diet and exercise. If left untreated, pre-diabetes can become type 2 diabetes, which is basically a more severe form of pre-diabetes. With type 2, high blood sugars are usually treated with oral medication, or insulin injections if necessary. Your body does not produce enough insulin, nor does it use it correctly. This differs from type 1 diabetes, where the body does not produce insulin at all.

Where in your body does diabetes happen?

Diabetes happens everywhere in your body.To be precise, however, it depends on the type of diabetes.Diabetes is typically divided into two types:1 - which is the insulin dependent.2 - which is non-insulin dependent.We now know that there are many types of diabetes, but these are the two simplified types.Type one, which was insulin dependent, typically happens in your pancreas - the organ which produces and secretes insulin. From various reasons the pancreas cannot itself produce insulin, and thus diabetes is developed.Type two, which was non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDD), typically happens on cellular level in many of the bodies cells. Due to various reasons these cells do not respond at all (or at least not very well) to insulin, and thusly they cannot absorb blood-sugar. As a result of this, diabetes is developed.So to sum up:- Both types affect the whole body- Type 1 is caused in the pancreas- Type 2 is caused on cellular level many places in the body.

Hormone responsible for diabetes?

If the body does not have enough insulin, then one can get diabetes. If the cells can not use the insulin the body has very well, then one can get diabetes. If one has diabetes, then the doctor might say to use insulin. If the body has too much insulin, then the cells store energy in the cells as fat. When a person is overweight, that is one of the main symptoms of diabetes. If the body and cells use insulin well to control blood sugar level, then the person is not diabetic.


how do you get diabetes in your life?

Your body uses insulin properly convert and carry energy derived from food to the cells in your body. There are two types of diabetes. In people with type one diabetes, the body does not produce insulin and therefore need to have insulin injested via shots. In type two diabetes, your body is not using insulin properly or does not create enough insulin. Typically type two diabetes canb be controlled with medication or via controlling your diet.
