∙ 9y agoInsulin dependent diabetics are people who require insulin to keep their daily blood sugars at a normal level every day. These people usually begin having diabetes at an early age in life, although some may develop this condition later in their life. It is very important to keep your diabetes under control.

∙ 9y agoThe type of diabetes that requires insulin is type one diabetes. It is an auto immune disease that destroys the insulin in the body effecting parts of the body kidneys, heart, and pancreas. Many people have to adjust the amount of insulin by what they eat.

∙ 12y agoType I diabetes, also known as insulin dependent diabetes, is caused by the complete failure of the pancreas to produce insulin. While those with type II diabetes experience insulin resistance or some failure of insulin production that can be treated with pills or supplements, complete pancreatic failure must be treated using insulin therapy.

Insulin-dependent diabetics depend upon what microorganisms?
Selectively bred
Is a insulin pump for diabetics an example of medical advancement?
Absolutely! Insulin pumps provide insulin dependent (T1D) diabetics the best chance of replacing a non-functioning pancreas. Continuous Glucose Monitor Systems (CGMS) are another advancement allowing diabetics a window into glucose levels.
Are there different types of diabeties?
Yes, there are. Some diabetics are not "insulin dependent", meaning they do not require injections in order to live. These people may have low insulin production or problems with glucose absorption, but they can usually control the disease by eating the right foods, getting adequate exercise, etc -- these people are called "Type II Diabetics". There are also insulin dependent diabetics, or those suffering from Type I diabetes. People with Type I must have insulin shots in order to live.
Is the herbalife diet safe for diabetics?
Herbalife can sometime be fine for insulin dependent diabetics but not always. If you are considering trying the herbalife diet you should consult your physician first.
What is the difference between a Type-1 diabetic and an insulin-dependent diabetic?
Type-1 diabetics are generally insulin-dependent, but not all insulin-dependent diabetics are type-1. Type-1 refers to how the patient contracted diabetes -- by having their pancreatic beta cells stop producing insulin, usually due to an autoimmune disorder. Type-2 diabetics became diabetic through a combination of genetic and lifestyle problems that reduced insulin production and/or increased insulin resistance. Type-2 diabetics usually begin treatment with diet changes and oral medications that increase insulin production or reduce resistance, rather than taking injections of actual insulin. But a Type-2 diabetic may become insulin-dependent over time, if treatment isn't effective. The high blood sugar can attack the pancreas (through oxidative stress and amyloidosis), reducing insulin production until even oral medications are no longer adequate.
How common is celiac disease in people with diabetes?
People with insulin dependent diabetes (type I) have a much higher incidence of celiac disease. One source estimates that as many as one in 20 insulin-dependent diabetics may have celiac disease.
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.
Can diabetics on insulin take amoxicillin?
Can diabetics take amoxillan
What are the medicine for diabetics?

Type 2 diabetes is known as non insulin dependent diabetes?
True, at first, though type II diabetics can deteriorate if not adequately treated. If they deteriorate far enough, they may become insulin-dependent. Even so, they don't become "Type-1" diabetics.
Which hormone is taken intravenously by diabetics?
The hormone taken by diabetics - is Insulin.
What causes the pacreas to stop making or producing insulin?
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which there is an absence or insufficient production of insulin. Two major classifications of diabetes are Type I or insulin-dependent mellitus (IDDM) and Type II, non-insulin dependent mellitus (NIDDM). Though many Type II diabetics use insulin but may still retain some degree of pancreatic function.
