Answer by Kassie
There are two types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Although they are both forms of diabetes, they are two different diseases. Only 5% of all diabetics have type 1.
Type 1 is an auto-immune disease and usually occurs in childhood, which is why it’s also called Juvenile Diabetes. It’s not caused from eating too much junk food, sugar, or having a poor lifestyle. There is nothing you can do to prevent type 1 diabetes and there is currently no cure, although scientists say they are very close.
Type 2 on the other hand, usually developes in adults and developes slowy over a period of time. This is usually caused by obesity or by poor diet and lifestyle. Type 2 actually can be prevented.
Here are some of the symptoms of Type 1 diabetes. Some of them might apply to type 2 also, but I’m not completely sure…
*Increased thirst
*Frequent urination
*Increased appetite
*Drowsiness, Lethargy
*Sudden weight loss
*Sugar in urine
*Sudden vision changes
*Heavy, labored breathing
*Stupor, Unconsciousness
*Fruity, Sweet, or wine – like odor on breath
Hope this helps!
