Diabetes is a disease where the body cannot independently manage its blood glucose levels. This is mainly due to the inadequate production of a hormone called insulin. Therefore, insulin injections would be a suitable treatment for diabetics because it gives them enough insulin to maintain their blood glucose levels.

Does type 1 diabetes require medication?
Since someone with type 1 diabetes doesn't have insulin diabetics have to take insulin because you can't live without it. Insulin can't be taken my mouth though so you have to inject it or pump it into your body.
Is type 2 diabetes known as insulin-dependent diabetes?
No. Type 1 diabetes is known as insulin-dependent or juvenile onset diabetes. The causes of type 2 diabetes can either be a lack of insulin sensitivity or insulin production problem. Some people with type 2 diabetes take insulin, but it is not known as insulin-dependent diabetes.
Do If you have diebetes info?
Yes. Diabetes is caused when the pancreas produces little or no insulin to regulate the blood sugar level. Which causes some people to have to inject insulin into their body. With type 2 diabetes some people can fix it with exercise and the proper nutrition. Type 1 diabetes is often referred to as Juvenile Diabetes because it affects mostly young people from ages 10-28 years of age.
What is the different between diabetes type 1 and diabetes type 2?
People with Type 1 Diabetes have an extremely limited amount of insulin which could lead to severe problems when insulin is not medicated to the recipient. People with Type 2 diabetes all have pancreas that produce less insulin
How are Type l DM different from Type ll Diabetes?
Type I diabetes is caused because the beta cells within the pancreas die or stop producing insulin. Therefore individuals with type I diabetes are insulin DEPENDENT because they have to inject insulin into their bodies after meals. Type II diabetes is caused due to the cells in the body becoming insulin insensitive. So although the pancreas is producing insulin, the body cannot respond to it so blood sugar remains high.
How would you treat with diabetes?
Well there are two types of diabetes. Type 1 is where your immmune system attacks the beta cells of your pancreas stopping it from producing insulin. People with Type 1 diabetes have to inject insulin after every meal. Type two diabetes is slightly different and is where the pancreas not being able to create enough insulin or where the body is resistant to the insulin that is prduced. This can often be treated with other medications and a controlled diet. Apparently olive oil helps regulate blood sugar levels ans is therefore helpful to people with diabetes. :)
What type of people uses insulin?
People with sugar diabetes.
What is diabeties type 2?
Tyoe 2 diabetes, usually seen in overweight adults, is when the pancreas makes insulin but the body does not respond to it well. Type 2 diabetics can often take pills to help them release more insulin or use it better. Type 1 diabetes, usually seen in children, is a deficiency of insulin so they always need to inject replacement insulin
What is the scientific name for diabetes?
Diabetes is the scientific name. There are three types:Type 1 diabetes: results from the body's failure to produce insulin, and presently requires the person to inject insulin. This is calledinsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM for short, and juvenile diabetes.)Type 2 diabetes: results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency.Gestational diabetes: is when pregnant women, who have never had diabetes before, have a high blood glucose level during pregnancy.
Is diabetes caused by a virus or bacteria?
Diabetes isn't caused by either bacteria or a virus. It is to do with your pancreas not creating enough insulin which regulates the amount of sugar in your blood. There are two types of Diabetes type 1 and type 2. People are born with type 1 diabetes which means their pancreas does not create enough/any insulin. Before they eat a meal they must inject themselves with insulin, this controlls the amount of sugar in the blood so it doesn't become too high and create hyperglycaemia. If the diabetic didn't inject themselves with insulin they would be at risk of dying. To avoid their blood sugar levels rising dramatically they also watch what they eat and do regular exercise.
Type 1 diabetes is known as non-insulin dependent diabetes?
No, it used to be called insulin-dependent diabetes.
What hormone is imbalanced in type 2 diabetes?
Insulin is the hormone that is imbalanced in type 2 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance results in the production of increased, but ineffective, insulin.
