Pre-Diabetes Information
There are 41 million people in the United States, between the ages 40 to 74, who have pre-diabetes. Diabetic guidelines tell us that pre-diabetes occur when blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. If pre-diabetes is left untreated, it can develop into type 2 diabetes.
You can prevent type 2 diabetes from developing by managing blood glucose while you're still in the pre-diabetes stage. "The Prevention or Delay of Type 2 Diabetes" written in collaboration by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and the American Diabetes Association offers free information on preventing type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes Information
Only 5% of diabetics have type 1 diabetes, and commonly it is diagnosed in early childhood or puberty. Diabetics with type 1 diabetes can't produce insulin that their body needs and require regular insulin injections. Diabetic guidelines show that when type 1 diabetes isn't probably managed, these diabetics can develop serious health conditions, including heart disease, blindness, nerve damage, and kidney damage.
American Diabetes Association offers free information on type 1 diabetes. Your Body's Well Being is a great article with valuable tips on taking care of your body when you have type 1 diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes Information
In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin, or has insulin resistance, inability to use insulin effectively. The majority of diabetics have type 2 diabetes, and most cases of type 2 diabetes occur in adulthood. Type 2 diabetes may require regular insulin injections or can be managed through exercise, diet and nutrition.
Common Concerns is an excellent diabetic resource created by the American Diabetes Association with free information on common concerns of type 2 diabetics. New Diabetes Information.com encourages to learn everything you can about your condition so you can live healthier, happier life.
Difference between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
If you're just learning about diabetes, the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes can be a little confusing. However, there are three distinct differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes:
- Age When Diabetes Symptoms Start - Type 1 diabetes usually starts in childhood or young adulthood, while type 2 diabetes most often occurs in adults.
- Hypoglycemia - Type 1 diabetics commonly have episodes of low blood sugar level, while type 2 diabetics usually don't have hypoglycemia unless its medication related.
- Prevention of Diabetes - Type 1 diabetes can't be prevented, while diabetic guidelines show that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed with a healthy lifestyle that includes watching your weight, eating sensibly and exercising regularly.
