This disease causes many challenges daily, but it has also taught us a lot. We now live by terms like low-GI, hypoglycemia, hiperglycemia, ketones, blood glucose tests, and I can continue like this for ages. I would love to create a better understanding of this disease amongst people, especially the critical differences in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. the essential difference being that people with type 1 diabetes is stuck with the disease forever (or till a cure can be found), whereas people with type 2 can possibly overcome it by adjusting their life style. Type 2 diabetes is a life style disease, type 1 not. You cannot cause type 1 diabetes, you have to have a genetic pre-disposition.
Regards.
