How sick is a person if they wear an insulin pump?
If someone wears an insulin pump then they are a type one diabetic and that that is how they choose to take their insulin (instead of shots, they'd rather just "bolus" by telling the pump to deliver them insulin via infusion set). It does not mean that they are any more or less sick than anyone else with type 1 diabetes. Most people with type 1 diabetes live a normal life, despite the constant blood sugar testing and giving themselves insulin. It is a manageable disease that is made somewhat easier to keep in check by the wonderful invention of the insulin pump. Again, just because someone wears one doesn't mean that they are dying or that they are any sicker than someone else with the disease. It's just their choice of insulin delivery. :)
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.
Do the Jonas Brothers have take puffers?
No. None of the Jonas Brothers suffer from athsma, or any other lung condition. Nick Jonas, however, suffers from Type l diabetes. He takes insulin shots daily.
How do kids get diabetes?
Kids usually are only diagnosed with one type of diabetes - Type 1 Diabetes. It is when your pancreas stops producing insulin. Sometimes kids can be diagnosed with other kinds - but you can only get Type 2 if you have seriously bad eating habits, or are very obese. Usually, one leads to the other. Type 2 is usually seen in adults.
Does Nick Jonas inject insulin?
He has Type 1 diabetes, so yes, he needs insulin injections. Fortunately for him, they invented a machine that you hook up to your body that will inject the insulin when he needs it, so he doesn't have to get a needle in him all the time.
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.
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.
What is level 2 diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a type of diabetes where the individual is not fully dependent on insulin. A type 1 diabetic requires insulin.
Is diabetes an example of hypersecretion hyposecretion or receptor problem?
Diabetes mellitus is not caused by a hypersecretion of insulin. A person with diabetes either produces too little insulin, or a normal amount of insulin that is not recognized by other cells in the body. Diabetes is caused by a lack of effective insulin. In type 1 diabetes the pancreatic beta cells are not producing sufficient insulin. Type 2 diabetes occurs when insulin sensitivity in target cells has decreased, so the insulin is no longer causing glucose uptake.
What are insulin dependent diabetics?
Both types of diabetes can require injections of insulin. Type 1 Diabetics need insulin injections, while Type 2 Diabetics usually do not. However, due to certain circumstances, Type 2 Diabetics do need insulin injections.
Can people with type 2 diabetes take insulin or is this only for type 1 diabetes?
Type 1 is controlled by injection and type 2 is controlled by diet
If a persons pancreas does not produce enough insulin the person has?
Type 2 diabetes occurs.
Does type 1 diabetes use a hormone called insulin?
No, people who have type 1 diabetes (like me myself) do not produce insulin. Yet their may still produce insulin but too little to be enough to not take it. As you get more experienced with diabetes your doctor may tell you that your body still produces insulin but not enough to take it alone with no help( this is the HONEYMOON Stage). You have to take it by syringe, shot, or by a pump. People who have type 2 diabetes, their pancreas still produce insulin but maybe their bodies do not absorb it too well.
The form of diabetes that often begins in late childhood and is characterized by inability of the pancreas to make insulin is called?
A type of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 or Juvenile Diabetes often begins in childhood and is characterized by an inability of the pancreas to make insulin. This is called insulin dependent Diabetes because people with this condition must take daily injections of insulin.
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.
What is the difference between insulin dependent and insulin independent diabetes?
type 1 diabetes is insulin dependent and type 2 diabetes is insulin independant. basically meanind type 1 is more serious it can cause death if not treated properly. Type 2 is not insulin dependent unless the person does not exercise enough and eat right, then some Type 2 Diabetic can become insulin dependent.
