A member asked:
Why is it that you get different symtoms in diabetes type 1 and 2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different cause: In type 1 you quit making Insulin and always need an external source. In type 2 you make it but not in effective quantity for your size or situation. Type 1 can kill within a month if unrecognized and untreated. Type 2 can go unnoticed for years with minimal symptoms.Some of the symptoms of both types will overlap in long term disease.
