I am on a rant today.. One of the main channels in Finland, for news and other tv-programs, had an article about how to avoid diabetes. Well I read it.. Drink lots of coffee. Yeah I'm sure that'll stop diabetes.. I'm sure I could have stopped mine!! Is it so hard to type in TYPE TWO DIABETES! There are so many types of diabetes. Type one: autoimmune disease. Usually happens with children although it's not resticted by age. Oldest woman to get it was 94. In it the own immune system kills off the cells making insulin. So someone with type one has to inject insulin or have a insulin pump. There is no miracle diet so you could not take insulin. There is no option to taking insulin. I've had to instances where I've been asked questions about this. First one was, how much weight have you lost. NO it's not a polite question. And the answer was none. Weight loss doesn't help! well in the sense that it helps with the amount of insulin you've gotta take and blood sugar levels but IT IS NOT A CURE!! other one was that the person did not believe I was on merely insulin. He seemed to think it's impossible. You have diabetes you have to have some form of pills for it. NO THERE ARE NO PILLS FOR TYPE ONE DIABETES!! That's for type 2. Type 2 is the one where you can diet to help your condition. There are pills to help the insulin resistance. You can have extra insulin BUT IN MOST CASES YOU BODY IS STILL ABLE TO PRODUCE INSULIN! Just for some reason it's not making enough, it's not using it right or something is interfering with these processes. And there is gestational diabetes as well but that one ends as soon as the baby is born. And men you don't need to worry about this.
but my message for today
TYPE ONE DIABETES IS REAL, WE NEED INSULIN FROM A OUTSIDE SOURCE TO SURVIVE!! IT'S AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE AND YOU LIVE WITH IT UNTILL YOU DIE! THERE ARE MORE THAN TYPE TWO DIABETES OUT THERE!!!!!!!
