PRESENTATION OUTLINE
In Type 1, there is no insulin made and can start when a person is young.
In Type 2, the pancreas doesn't make enough insulin and may require insulin injections.
Type 1 usually occurs at ages less than 20 and 10-15% of people have it.
Type 2 usually occurs at ages between 40-60 and 85-90% of people have it.
Type 1 diabetics experience: frequent urination, extreme hunger and thirst, extreme weight loss, weakness, feeling edgy, nausea, and blurred vision.
Type 2 diabetics experience: increased thirst and hunger, increased urination, tiredness, feeling edgy, feeling sick, loss of weight, hard to heal infections, and tingling or loss of feeling in hands or feet.
Complications for Type 1 are diabetic coma, low blood sugar, renal failure, blindness, heart attack, stroke, decreased nerve function, and amputation.
The complications for Type 2 are the same as Type 1.
Type 1 can be treated by a sugar controlled diet, exercise, daily insulin injections, and blood sugar tests.
Type 2 can be treated by a sugar controlled healthy diet, exercise, normal weight, blood sugar testing, and maybe diabetes pills or insulin shots.
