Because I am sick of repeating myself!!!

What’s the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 1 Diabetes is a disorder in which the body does not produce insulin (a hormone that aids in moving sugar from the blood to the cells).  This type of diabetes can be due to a virus or autoimmune disorder in which the body does not recognize an organ as its own and attacks it.  In this case the body attacks an organ known as the pancreas where insulin is made.
Those with Type 1 Diabetes are required to take insulin injections to move sugar from the bloodstream.  This type of diabetes is usually diagnosed before age 40.

Type 2 Diabetes occurs when insulin that the body produces is less efficient at moving sugar out of the bloodstream.  Some sugar is moved out of the blood, just not as effectively compared to a person with normal insulin efficiency.  High blood sugars are a result of this.
Diet, exercise, weight loss, and possible medications are the treatment for this type of diabetes.  Occasionally, someone with Type 2 may be placed on insulin to better control blood sugars.  This type of diabetes is associated with physical inactivity and obesity.  Type 2 Diabetes used to be thought of as the adult onset type of diabetes.  However, an alarming rate of children are now being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.

Unlike you that have Type 2, The Karate Kid can have what he wants as long as we follow a schedule and keep to the diet he has been given. He can have carbs!! Unlike you who are controling your diabetes with diet and aren’t supposed to, but do anyway. That is what the insulin injections are all about. So you can stop now with the repeated questions. They scare him and make him feel bad. He knows exactly what to do and what not to do. And so do we.

 

 

Every moment of my day has been spend either working, or getting the second floor ready to be rented. So I am either covered in glitter or paint most days depending. I am exhausted and thinking I may be battling anemia again. Just what I need right now!

Just updated to the new build of EE. The usual drill if you see something wonky. I haven’t even had the time to check out what it was about, but I know it was a security issue
