I think of a type 2 person as people who were close to type 1 at birth but were somehow granted a repreave until later in life. I have not developed type 2 but am certainly genetically inclined. unfortunately I eat and drink too much and do not exercise enough. If I do develop it I will have no one to blame. I will reflect on your comments.</div> Mon, 09 May 2005 03:28:46 -0700 http://typewriting.org/2005/05/01/Type_1_and_2_Diabetes/#comment-1330 http://typewriting.org/2005/05/01/Type_1_and_2_Diabetes/#comment-1360 <div>To the above comment, type 1 and type 2 diabetes are 2 different diseases entirely. I have type 1 (juvenile) but didn't get it until I was 28 years old. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease, type 2 is a metabolic disease, what cures one type won't cure the other, they have different causes. And it is correct that most type 2s bring it on themselves, whereas type 1 cannot be prevented no matter what, you either get it or you don't.</div> Thu, 16 Jun 2005 01:15:04 -0700 http://typewriting.org/2005/05/01/Type_1_and_2_Diabetes/#comment-1360
