Whats the difference between type 1 diabetes and type 2?

Yo… asked:


Hi everyone.
My boss just found out her 16 year old daughter has type 1 diabetes. We were all very sad to hear the news. Apparently she will be taking medication everyday for the rest of her life and she has a strict diet to follow. What’s the difference between type 1 and type 2? Also, do people with diabetes have a tendency to be thin and lose a lot of weight because of their diet? Apparently before she was diagnosed, she lost 10 pounds within a month.

Thanks!

Joseph

    type 1 diabetics have to take insulin shots for life and and get mainly by bad genes(bad luck). type 2 diabetics can take pills and really just have to watch what they eat and they will be able to live a normal life, type 2 diabetics get it mainly because of their poor eating, exercising habits. yes it is normal for them to lose weight because she didn’t have any insulin in her so her body convert her sugar into energy so it started to use her fat for energy.
    -hope this answers your questions.-
