[quote=Anonymous][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] T1 goes low because of insulin injections via needle or pump. They are also really high because they cannot produce insulin on their own.[/quote] Going low is true of anyone on exogenous insulin or taking medications that lower glucose levels including type 2s. It's not exclusive to type Is. [/quote]
