I'm a type 2 diabetic. My diabetes was not caused by diet.
My diabetes is caused by failure of my pancreas to produce the necessary cells for insulin production, and insulin resistance of cells within my body.
Not everyone who has diabetes acquired it from bad diet.
Perhaps learn some empathy njroute22, because your comment was hurtful and demeaning.
- verifex 3y agoThat sounds like Type 1 diabetes. Your pancreas doesn't generate insulin in Type 1, and in type 2 your body has insulin resistance, which makes the insulin that your body makes ineffective at regulating your blood sugar.
- anonuser123456 3y agoType 2 diabetes is not a single disease, but rather a combination of failed signaling pathways in a variety of tissue. For some people, they will have insulin resistance in fat cells, so lipolysis continues even during high insulin levels. Some people will have hepatic insulin resistance so their liver does not uptake glucose as glycogen as readily or inhibit gluconeogenesis. Some people will have insulin resistance in the pancreatic alpha cells, so glucagon production continues in the presence of insulin. Some people will have skeletal muscle tissue insulin resistance, where excess glucose is not as readily taken up by skeletal muscle tissue (our most metabolic active tissue). Some people can also have insulin resistance along side decreased insulin production in the pancreatic beta cells. This is mixed type 1 and type 2.
