It used to be called juvenile-onset diabetes, because it often begins in childhood.]]> 2016-10-27 15:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/10025026/d6a7cou7uq14/wish/133648557 10025026 https://padlet.com/10025026/d6a7cou7uq14/wish/133650298 it is an autoimmune condition that is caused by the body attacking its own pancreas with antibodies. People with type 1 have a damaged pancreas that isn't able to make insulin.  This type of diabetes may be caused by a genetic predisposition. It could also be the result of having faulty beta cells in the pancreas that normally would produce insulin.

The methods of injecting insulin include:

• Syringes
• Insulin pens that use pre-filled cartridges and a fine needle
• Jet injectors that use high pressure air to send a spray of insulin through the skin
• Insulin pumps that dispense insulin through flexible tubing to a catheter under the skin of the abdomen

Type 2 diabetes was also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes.  The pancreas usually produces some insulin in someone who has type 2, but either the amount produced is not enough for the body's needs, or the body's cells are resistant to it.  Insulin resistance, or lack of sensitivity to insulin, happens primarily in fat, liver, and muscle cells.]]> 2016-10-27 15:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/10025026/d6a7cou7uq14/wish/133652786 10025026 https://padlet.com/10025026/d6a7cou7uq14/wish/133654852 THERE IS NO CURE! Type 2 diabetes can be controlled with weight management, nutrition, and exercise.
