[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2179639, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]Hi [USER=517440]@Agada[/USER]. You are in luck! I live in the southern hemisphere and my cat woke me up at dawn this morning, and I haven't been able to go back to sleep... Anyway. Type 2 is a metabolic disease , metabolism referring to the chemicals that make up a living body or thing. Type two, (not the brought on by surgery or pancreatic damage kind), rather than being "brought on by lifestyle" (which always sounds like we woke up one morning and decided on playing petanque - and developing a metabolic disease that day!). I would say brought on by a bad food and drink environment and by insulin resistance. And people are having type two now in families that have never had type two before - because of the big changes in the food and drink environment and not in our genes - it takes a lot longer than a generation to change those. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, and western medicine and science has not got autoimmune diseases under wraps at all, is my understanding. (But the autoimmune thing is when your autoimmune system mistakenly attacks your body, to put it simply.) Type 1 and type 2 are actually two very different diseases that culminate in the same symptom - too high blood glucose, and the word diabetes refers to that symptom, not the causes. As for the short answer - I have been led to believe you could have both. You could develop type 1 as well as the insulin resistance based type 2 you have now. Others who that has happened to can pitch in? Or tell me I got it wrong? My understanding is, what you can't have (- sorry Halle Berry I think you are wonderful in 'Cat Woman'!) - is type 1 develop into type 2 (Halle confused us all by saying this is what happened to her - but her docs didn't give her the right tests to find out early on what type she really had apparently), or type 2 develop into type 1. (I see there are some other answers posted while I wrote this so I will post this and read those...) [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
