How do you know if diabetes is an organism?
Diabetes is not an organism. It is a disease in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin and so the body cannot process carbohydrates and sugar builds up in the blood. This sugar that builds up is not turned into energy and that is why having diabetes is a problem. If too much suger builds up in the bloodstream, one can die of diabetic shock. That is what happens when one eats too many carbohydrates.
Can low blood sugars lead to diabetes?
High insulin levels occur in an attempt to counter high levels of sugar. Type II diabetes is caused by insulin receptors on cells not having much of a response to insulin. Hence, more insulin is released in an attempt to lower the blood sugar levels. This is why high insulin levels are a symptom of Type II diabetes, not a cause.
Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.

Can a dog have diabetes?
Yes, but it typically differs from the types of diabetes found in humans and other mammals. In people, diabetes is caused by low levels of insulin. In birds such as parakeets, it's caused by an overabundance of a chemical called glucagon. However, like humans, birds with diabetes must be treated with insulin injections. Because avian diabetes is usually the result of a separate infection, the bird can oftentimes overcome its diabetes over time, and no longer require insulin injections.
