I assume you're referring to type 2.
Type 1 is a very different, and deadlier, thing and there is no cure or known cause. I have two children with type 1.
I wish people would stop referring to diabetes as if it's one thing. It's not. Type 2 strikes middle aged and older folks and is more often than not obesity triggered. Type 1 strikes children and young adults and has nothing to do with diet or weight.
My kitten was not obese, nor old.
I feel for you and your family, just lower the tone a bit, please.
I mentioned the feline connection to diabetes as something scientists should study.
Peace.
Btt
Yup. I’m a type 1. But now I’m ALSO a type 2. My Endocrinologist jokes that I’m a type 3. (1 + 2=3)
