Is there "good" or "bad" diabetes?

Sometimes we listen to comments about someone who has "good" or "bad" diabetes ... However, in general diabetes is defined by types 1 and 2.

In both cases it is characterized by excess blood sugar, which if they are not treated properly, both types of diabetes can have serious complications, such as cardiovascular problems, nervous problems and kidney problems, as well as visual, skin and sexual health problems.

Although type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented, type 2 diabetes can be prevented and, in some cases, reverse, through healthy lifestyle habits, such as a balanced diet and physical exercise.

Obesity, overweight and excess abdominal fat are important risk factors for the development and worsening of type 2 diabetes.

It is important to detect the disease early to avoid complications and, in some cases, to completely eliminate it.

Thus, it cannot be said that there are a "good" or "bad" diabetes, instead, we can talk about well or poorly controlled diabetes.

A diabetes that constantThat in the case of not being able to maintain these levels, we could talk about bad control, and for a "poorly controlled" diabetes.

In my opinion, in general it tends to over-simplify when we talk about diabetes, which on the one hand is fine when you have to explain to someone who has never heard of diabetes, however, take it to the extreme of "Well "or" bad ", it seems excessively simple, and that also does not contribute much context.

What do you think of you?

Should we make more pedagogy?

There is bad diabetes and the worst:/

The question they ask me is ... but do you take pills or click?

In general, people think that the "good" is that of pills and the "bad" if you put insulin.
The pills are not given importance and there are complications ...

Yes ... totally, people say: "What a bad luck, you have the worst" (which is not for me, we have the insulin that helps take a better control).I did the capillary test to my father on Christmas Eve, without having tried desserts and was 256 (he had diabetic type 2 for 3 years, he has 80 and treated with metformin) and told myself "Mamma Mía" that bad types 2.... (My father at any time has sent him to follow any type of diet) ... and I remembered when they diagnosed me at the beginning as type 2, they did not give me glucometer or strips, they only explained the dish (withoutweigh the amounts or anything) ....
On the other hand, I have been funny to hear acquaintances say that some acquaintance or familiar also "have some sugar" .... people ignore what this entails and detracts from it.

It is what the head doctors "instill" especially the ancients.

- Vah! "You have a little sugar, we see it but don't worry, you take the pill and go.
- Or you have some sugar, it can be pre-diabetes (term that does not exist in medicine), instead of saying you fail the pancreas and you need treatment.
- Also, typical of that is solved with a diet, don't worry ...

I have a friend DT2 like this, when it goes down weight, the Guay pancreas, but as soon as it recovers, it is DT2 of pill and without control.She is not considered diabetic because her doctor does not tell her, but she is and if he continues, she will exhaust pancreas and will be insulin -dependent.

I don't know why they don't tell the truth, rawly.They told me clearly it is small but it is cancer and you have to remove it.I prefer it to wander with the answers.

I also prefer, better things as they are, to lower gravity leads to worry less, and also to have the treatment worse.

It is much more effective to know reality, and take the necessary measures.

Well, to say that you have good diabetes I do not see meaning, well it is to have nothing, what if there can be prediabetes and diabetes, and within diabetes because type 1 or 2 ... if it is prediabetes it seems easier to reverse it and it is notadvisable medicine, but diet and exercise.

No disease is good, so no type of diabetes is.

Obviously, having diabetes is not good to look where you look.But for me the 1 is not the worst because we have many financed things to carry good control, which until now unfortunately, with the 2 does not happen.

Indeed, with the DM2 there is to save strict diet

Of course, there are no good diabetes.They have also told me many times, that mine is bad.
The worst thing I see being type 1 is that it is an autoimmune disease and that implies that I can have a predisposition to suffering from other autoimmune.For the rest, it is almost sacrificed to carry the 1 than 2.
