Each one of us is a very unique individual and as such, diabetes either type affects us very individually. We are all Atypical!! What meds, exercises, food plans, etc help me may do absolutely nothing for you. It is a matter of Your Milage May Vary. The medics all try hard to put us in a box and say this and this and this will work or help or whatever. But it is all a cock and bull story! We are all very unique individuals and this set of conditions does not fit each of us the same way.

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels, which result from defects in insulin secretion, or action, or both. Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes (as it will be in this article) was first identified as a disease associated with “sweet urine," and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) lead to spillage of glucose into the urine, hence the term sweet urine. Normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the blood glucose level. When the blood glucose elevates (for example, after eating food), insulin is released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose level. In patients with diabetes, the absence or insufficient production of insulin causes hyperglycemia. Diabetes is a chronic medical condition, meaning that although it can be controlled, it lasts a lifetime. For more on diabetes types and differences visit http://www.reddiabetes.com
