OR… What link exists between type 2 diabetes and lifestyle?
There are two main Types of Diabetes. These are:
Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes develops if the body is unable to produce any insulin. This type of diabetes usually appears before the age of 40. Type 1 diabetes is the least common of the two main types and accounts for between 5 – 15% of all people with diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes develops when the body can still make some insulin, but not enough, or when the insulin that is produced does not work properly (known as Insulin resistance). In most cases this is linked with being overweight. This type of diabetes usually appears in people over the age of 40, though in South Asian and African-Caribbean people often appears after the age of 25. However, recently, more children are being diagnosed with the condition, some as young as seven. Type 2 diabetes is the most common of the two main types and accounts for between 85 – 95% of all people with diabetes.
So if you are overweight you are more likely to get Type 2 diabetes. However recent research shows you can improve the condition by eating healthy chocolate from xocai which contains all the anti-oxidents you will ever need! See websites below for more information.
Type 1 in the one you’re born with, type 2 used to be called adult onset diabetes and is linked to lifestyle and diet

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.

Type 1 is when the cells( Islets of langerhans) producing insulin is destroyed by the body via autoimmune disease or a virus. As a result, the body no longer has insulin and the patient requires insulin jabs.
Type 2 is when the body doesn’t produce enough insulin or the cells that react to insulin do not respond that well to it. It is also known as adult onset diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled via diet and lifesyle, as long as the person eats healthily, he does not need the jabs because the body will slowly adapt to the insulin produced. The main difference to this diabetes is that its still producing insulin, that’s why it can be controlled via diet while the other isn’t.

Type one is a real inadequacy of the Pancreas to produce enough insulin to deal with sugar peaks in the body due to the food eaten. Type 2 is often referred to as Late Onset Diabetes as it creeps up on older people and those that are overweight. Type 2 can be treated by diet control, losing weight and exercise. If a type 2 is unable to control weight by being sensible and careful then there is a pill that can help to control the insulin levels.
For type 2 the only change I have made to my life style is a lot less alcohol, so a not to gain weight, A generally healthy diet of sugar free products, fresh fruit and veg and less products containing fat. The latter to keep weight under control. Type 1 requires the daily injection of insulin which is self administered and all the same controls of diet etc.
When out walking or playing golf I always have a banana after 2 hours and an apple after 3 hours. This gives a healthy boost to the sugar level which drops quickly when exercising.

Type 1-You dont neccessarily get it when your born-my best friend got it when she was 6,so I know alot about it.But basically its when there isnt enough insulin in your body to change the glucose into energy,so you have to have injections(3 a day about)of insulin,and take regular skin-prick blood sugar tests.If you dont,there are lots of complications such as any type of organ failiure,heart attack,stroke etc.
Type 2-Dont know exactly but i know its when you’re obese and eat too much sugar.Can cause the same problems but no need for injections.
