type 1 diabetes insulin resistance

I know I am insulin dependent because I cannot take my pump off except for the rare few minutes or so without my sugar sky rocketing. Now would u still call this Type 2 Diabetes or Type 1? Hearing the words Juvenile Diabetes associated with Type 1 throws me off obviously because I was not diagnosed as a juvenile. But also the words Insulin Dependent are associated with the Type 1. So I DO fit into that category.

You don't say what you were using before Lantus. If the change has resulted in better control of your blood sugars, that could be why you are gaining weight. (Assuming, of course, you haven't increased food or decreased exercise). Unfortunately, some type 1's do develop insulin resistance after many years especially if during that time you ate carbs pretty freely and bolused for it. Insulin resistance leads to weight gain.

t know too much about insulin resistance except how it works in type 2 diabetes, but I have never heard of someone taking that much metformin who is not diabetic. If I were you I would read up on insulin resistance, and I would make an appointment to see an endocrinologist. There is something wrong with this picture imho: 1. Why he is treating insulin resistance without diabetes so aggressively and 2.

Diabetes type-1 is due to destruction of insulin cell means the body get deficient of insulin, in this case the amount of the blood sugar rises. It can be prevented. Diabetes type-2 occurs when the body is not able to use insulin in appropriate manner. It can be prevented with healthy lifestyle.

Hello, My research shows that LADA is typically not connected to insulin resistance (insulin resistance is typical to Type 2 diabetes not type 1 diabetes, of which LADA is a subtype). However, some people with Type 1 / LADA to go on to develop insulin resistance - so called Double Diabetes (where they have features of both type 1 and Type 2). Type 2 doesn't turn into type 1, but over time their pancreas burns out and then they also become insulin deficient and have to inject insulin.

Fasting hyperglycemia can happen with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused by lack of insulin and the treatment is injected insulin, exercise and careful management of diet. Type 2 is initially caused by insulin resistance and there will initially be high levels of insulin that cannot be properly used by the body. Treatment can be diet, exercise, weight loss, and medications.

My 15 year-old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 12. She currently wears an insulin pump. The last 2 months she has experienced very high blood sugars (300-600) around the time of her period. The blood sugars remain high for approx. 48 hours despite our best efforts (insulin every 2-3 hours and lots of water) to bring them down. After a couple of days she is back in the normal range. The pump is working fine and she has not had ketones either time as well.

Like Type 2 Diabetes, people with LADA do represent with insulin resistance. However, the condition is autoimmune, like Type 1. People with Latent Autoimmune carry the exact same complication risk as those with Type 2-stroke, heart attacks and heart disease. Contrary to popular beliefs, some people who have LADA ARE overweight or obese. Furthermore, some people do carry family history of diabetes, regardless of the actual type.

IR or insulin resistance is a sign of type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. I am assuming you are referring to either the A1C or fasting blood glucose levels. The first thing of course is a change in life style. This does not mean you have to stop eating everything but to be more judicious in your eating habits. In addition, regular exercise is paramount in reducing those :numbers". Talk this over with your physician and get started on these changes.

s an interesting question. Type 1 diabetes needs to be monitored. Is your child routinely stable with insulin? Instability in the diabetes can create a situation of behavior issues. Diabetes has a pretty high rate of depression in kids, 15 to 20% according to the Childhood Diabetes Association. https://www.childrensdiabetesfoundation.org/type-1-diabetes-and-mental-health/ Your child was diagnosed with a lifetime disorder and it's a lot to deal with. Anxiety is also high in these kids.

multiple sclerosis; myasthenia gravis; insulin dependant latent autoimmune diabetes of adults and adult type 1 diabetes; type 1 juvenile diabetes; sjogren's syndrome; addisons's disease; complex regional pain syndrome with dystonia; latex allergy.

Stress, not enough sleep, your microbiome, notnenough vitamins, and diet among other things are causes of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance causes diabetes. Your liver makes insulin among other hormones and it can make as much glucose as your body needs. The pancreas stores the insulin until it is needed to move excess glucose out of your blood. Insulin unlocks the cells in the body to allow extra glucose into them for energy.

This particular forum focuses on Type 1 diabetes, not type 2. Perhaps you should contact the American Diabetes Association, www.ada.org, to ask questions about type 2.

------------------------ Multiple studies have now proven that the Hepatitis C virus causes insulin resistance (you become insensitive to insulin) and diabetes.....and being insulin resistant lowers SVR. As a matter of fact, insulin resistance is now considered the most important host factor in the prediction of treatment response. Co (Abstract 1270.

I assume you get regularly tested for thyroid to make sure that isn't the cause of your weight gain and you don't need an adjustment in thyroid meds. Insulin doesn't make people gain weight, though sometimes people lose weight when initially diagnosed with very high numbers and when their blood sugar gets under control they continue eating the same way and gain weight. Another cause of weight gain in Type 1's is insulin resistance.

Dear med. student, None of us are physicians, but volunteers who either have type 1 or as a parent or family member who are very involved with diabetes. With type 1 the beta cells are destroyed in the pancreas due to the autoimmune response. I agree with Markie, it is usually triggered by something and many cases has a genetic factor that comes into play. Keep in mind there are also many cases that doctors cannot find a genetic reason.

Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adults is STRONGLY similar to both Types One & Two Diabetes. Contrary to the usual beliefs, some people carrying Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adults (LADA) DO have family history of Type 2 Diabetes. Family's History of Type 1 may be also there for some LADA people. Furthermore, some people having LADA ARE overweight or obese (mildly to moderately).

I did check out this website, and must warn that although herbal remedies may help type 2 folks who actually produce insulin, type 1 diabetes is not at all a problem with insulin resistance, but is instead an autoimmune disease whereby the pancreas cells have actually been destroyed by the body's own immune system. A type 1 diabetic normally has no insulin resistance problems at all, but just cannot produce insulin.

I have a sugar issue...i believe i am insulin resistance or type 2 diabetic... In the past i have been a heavy drinker for years while consuming lots of icecream/candy, pizza, beer, etc... I've tried in the past to get fat intentionally (add any weight) and failed..I wont gain a pound nomatter how much i eat...Which indicates My insulin producing is very low...This is a guess obviously I bought a glucose meter and Tested today. My morning fasted was 67.
