What are fucking, types 2 and 3, like?
If it’s diabetes, type 2 is where your body doesn’t produce enough insulin. Usually because it’s not absorbing or diminished production capacity.
Type 3 is where sugars don’t pass the blood brain barrier thus starving your brain of nutrients. The symptoms look like alzheimer’s, so it’s usually diagnosed post mortem.
no… Type 1 = not producing, Type 2 = resistance/not absorbing
Type 1 specifically refers to when the body attacks the insulin producing cells. Not necessarily that it’s producing none or not enough, even if that’s the way we’re accustomed to thinking about the distinction.
The difference between 1 and 2 is the reason your body doesn’t produce enough, not how much it produces.
Not necessarily that it’s producing none or not enough
You are confidently incorrect.
Nah that’s pretty accurate.
Type 1 is characterized by an autoimmune response against the beta cells specifically. There are other type 1-ish conditions that can be caused by pancreatitis for example. And then there is of course LADA, double-diabetes etc.
Conversely a type 1s pancreas still produces insulin early on especially in the remission/honey moon phase where they might not even need injections for months (this is where all the people who are not educated on it or falling for health gurus trip up)
Iirc more recent research has also shown that T1Ds produce small amounts of insulin. But not enough to really be clinically relevant.
(Got the sake of brevity, diabetes here refers to diabetes mellitus cause nobody ever talks about insipidus)
So if your immune system is attacking your pancreas but you are still producing some insulin then you actually have type 2?
I’m like 90% sure the post is about diabetes.
That is exactly how it sounded in my head while I’m typed it.
Very similar although slightly to the right on standard keyboard layouts
Type 2 is adult onset diabetes. Type 3 is the term used by those referring to diabetes, and alzheimer’s disease connection. AGEs (Accelerated Glycation End products) form when serum glucose levels are too high, too much of the time and the sugars “glycate” i.e. bind onto, proteins making them non-functional.
