[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] T2 is high sugar. T1 is low. Please don’t comment about things you fundamentally don’t understand. She has T2.[/quote] Ummmm, no. Both present with high blood glucose and high A1C. Further blood tests necessary to distinguish difference. Type 1 is insulin dependent. The body does not make enough insulin and insulin injections/pump required. Type 2 is insulin resistant. The body is still producing insulin, but resistant to it. Low blood glucose can happen to anyone; however, blood glucose can drop dangerously low in Type 1. [/quote] NO - anyone on insulin can have dangerously low blood glucose. That's T1 or T2. Low blood sugar, not on insulin, is not characteristic of T1 or T2. By definition both are conditions where blood glucose is abnormally high.[/quote]
