    I hate when people confuse type 1 diabetes with type 2 diabetes. The other day in school we had a subject about childhood obesity, and the teacher talked about how obesity could lead to diabetes.Ofcause he ment Type 2 diabetes, but he didnt say that. Everybody started to laugh and pick on me, because they thought that I had been fat. Which I never have been !

    Im diabetic and im 14. I was diagnosed about 7 years ago. I was first put onto 2 times a day but about 5 months ago i was put on 4 times a day. I found it really hard at first but now i have better control and i am understanding it more easily :)

  • drkelly8 says:

    A type 2 also can be on insulin. I am a type two and inject 2 different insulin shots 4 times a day.

  • drkelly8 says:

  • richpickins says:

  • drkelly8 says:

    no. it is inhent. My mom and grandfather were both diabetics, so I kinda knew I was also going to follow suit. The “gene” sits there waiting for something to kick it off. In my case it was stress, yes in others, other medical problems can kick it but it is not caused by the kick, it is always there….

  • garin1 says:

  • Joelmowbray5 says:

    yeha, i’m not a pro on type 2, bbut isn’t it also caused by liver problems, heart problems etc?

  • Joelmowbray5 says:

  • garin1 says:

  • drkelly8 says:
