The different Types of Diabetes

There are 4 different types of Diabetes, and what differentiates them.

1)      Type 1 Diabetes is Insulin deficiency diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes.  It is sometimes referred to as juvenile diabetes.  However, anyone can get Type 1 Diabetes at any age, but it is more commonly seen in children.    This is a more serious form of this disease as it can hit very quickly and can cause death within weeks of the pancreas losing all ability to produce the digestive Hormone insulin. 

The Primary root cause is an immune response disorder that attacks and kills islet cells in the pancreases.  But it can also be caused by Pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, physical injury to the pancreases that can cause the loss of your pancreases or a badly managed Type 2 Diabetes.

Symptoms of this disease include tiredness, especially after eating a meal, frequent urination, high blood pressure, fast and rapid weight loss (Like 50 lbs per day), degraded  vision or blindness, Premature Menopause, etc., …

The Cure for Type 1 Diabetes is called the islet Transplant, which can take 2 forms:

  A) Transplanting a Healthy pancreas onto the Diabetic pancreas

  B) If the Diabetic is prone to pancreatitis, then transplanting Islet cells into your Liver is the alternative plan

 In either case, the patient must depend on immune depressants for the rest of their lives,      because remember in the original disease it was caused by an improper immune response and the immune system is already defective at attacking Islet cells in the first place.  So one has to except replacing their Type 1 Diabetes with Medically induced Aids.

Only Type 1 Diabetics on their death beads with this disease qualify for this procedure.  There are approximately only about 40 or so clinics in the world that provide this procedure, and only about 500 Type 1 Diabetic patients have been given Islet transplants.

2)      Type 2 Diabetes is insulin resistance Diabetes or adult onset diabetes.  But again, even though this disease is more commonly seen in older adults, it is starting to show up in younger children more often now days.

The Primary Root Cause of this form of Diabetes is a malfunctioning Duodenum.  This Duodenum is the first 12 inches of your 30-foot-long small intestine (or about 1/30^th of the small intestine full length) and has the intended function of absorbing iron.  As Well as other sections of the small intestine are dedicated to absorbing a specific vitamin, mineral or nutrient of some sort.  The duodenum is dedicated to absorbing iron out of your food.  Which make sense, … since your body need oxygen to metabolize sugar (Carbohydrates).

However, for some bizarre reason not fully understood, about 8% of the time it absorbs proteins by accident, and these proteins get into your blood stream in an improperly digested state and can be mistaken for digestive hormones like insulin, amylin, glucagon, etc., ….  If these duodenum proteins get mistaken for insulin, you get insulin resistant Diabetes, or Type 2 Diabetes.  If these proteins get mistaken for Amylin then you gain weight, if they get mistaken for glucagon you get low blood sugars (a common side effect of Diabetes), etc., …

Normally Type 2 Diabetics are not treated with insulin, but instead insulin resistance fighting drugs like Metformin.  Because a Typical Type 2 Diabetic can produce 32 times more insulin than a none diabetic.  So, the problem isn’t not enough insulin, but instead insulin resistance.  It is very rare for a Type 2 diabetic to need insulin.  Because adding more insulin only makes the insulin resistance worse.  However if Type 2 diabetes goes poorly manged for too long, the pancreas can eventually loose the ability to produce enough insulin, in which case Type 2 Diabetics may be prescribed insulin as well.

The resistance is caused by these duodenum proteins corrupting the hormone receptors of the cells inducing hormone resistance for that hormone function.  You are officially a Type 2 Diabetic if they corrupt insulin receptors and cause insulin resistance.

Symptoms of this disease include frequent urination, psoriasis of the skin, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic dandruff that never goes away, degraded vision, tired and sleepy after eating a meal, sleepy and tired all the time, Thirsty all of the time, Premature Menopause, Premature Andropause, etc., …

The Cure for Type 2 Diabetes include the Gastric By-pass (Duodenal Bypass), the Duodenal Switch operation or the endobarrier.  All of these procedures work quickly at curing Type 2 Diabetes by causing food to bypass this organ, proteins can't get accidentally digested by this organ and thus cures Type 2 Diabetes.  The endobarrier is the least intrusive since it doesn't require an operation or hospital stay.  

The endobarrier is an inflatable cylinder that grabs the inside of your stomach and covers up the Duodenum (The first 12 inches of the Small Intestine).   This procedure was developed by doctors in Chile as an alternative to Gastric Bypass Surgery.

3)      Gestation Diabetes Is the same as Type 2 diabetes, but is caused by being pregnant, which can make for a very dangerous pregnancy.   The good news is this diabetes goes away after delivery of the baby and the end of that pregnancy.  However, the Bad news is you will probably come down with full Type 2 Diabetes in about 10 years after that pregnancy. 

4)      Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes is when your Type 2 Diabetes gets out of control and poorly managed it can eventually lead to Type 1 Diabetes (insulin deficiency), at which point you will start to need insulin.  This will mean you have the worst of diabetes, both insulin deficiency and insulin resistance.
