Type 1 diabetes
Bunnie:
type 1 is not insulin dependant.. its more of diet control
type 2 is the insulin dependant.. depending on how bad it is, its controled in different ways. some people like my dad only need to jab themselves once a day other will need to jab themselves with every meal/at set times.
there is plenty written about the condition and it can be very easily controled once you have found the right combination of medication. i will say that the chocolates designed for diabetics are much good and your prob better off eating your fave choice but less of it.
Frankie-Boy:
Sorry Bunnie,
You've got it wrong, Type 1 is Insulin dependent and type 2 is Diet and Tablet control, I'm type 2 on tablets.
beast5680:
Type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes)
Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes)
discowoman:
Yup, cos Im type 2 ( metformin..) went onto insulin when we were trying for our youngest!
Bouncy:
cor I remember when there was IDDsand NIDDs Insulin and None Insulin dependent. Shows how old my training is. My best mate is a diabetes consultant in Wakefield/Pontefract and she says the trick is control and moderation!
As an ex NHS podiatrist I advise all diabetics to check your feet, go to your check ups and buy decent shoes.
Hope it settles soon and work are reasonable about it all.
