Check Out Whether Can Type 2 Diabetes Turn Into Type 1?


Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose.


Hyperglycaemia, also called raised blood glucose or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the body’s systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels.

If you have diabetes, your body isn’t able to properly process and use glucose from the food you eat. There are different types of diabetes, each with different causes, but they all share the common problem of having too much glucose in your bloodstream. Treatments include medications and/or insulins. Some types of diabetes can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle.


There are two types of Diabetes Type 1 and Type2:


If you have type 2 diabetes in Nerul, you might be wondering if it will ever “turn into” type 1 diabetes. It’s understandable that you would think about this, especially if you take insulin. In short, however, the answer is “no.”

So, type 2 diabetes does not become type 1 diabetes. But it is possible for someone’s type of diabetes to be misdiagnosed. In other words, someone may be told they have type 2 diabetes, but they actually have type 1 diabetes. Here’s why: diabetes symptoms can be the same in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. For example, if your blood sugar is high, you may feel tired and thirsty and you might lose some weight. If you go to the doctor because of your symptoms, you may be quickly diagnosed with type 2 and prescribed a diabetes pill to take. This is more likely to happen if you’re an adult and if you’re overweight or obese (and another misconception is that everyone with type 1 diabetes is thin and everyone with type 2 diabetes is overweight or obese).


Bottom line: Type 2 diabetes will not turn into type 1 diabetes. But it’s possible that someone diagnosed with type 2 may really have type 1. Be familiar with symptoms of untreated diabetes, which include thirst, frequent urination, hunger, weight loss and cuts or sores that don’t heal quickly. People with type 1 diabetes are more likely to have a sudden onset of these symptoms, while people with type 2 diabetes may have milder symptoms — or no symptoms at all. Know the risk factors for diabetes and also be aware of your family history. Talk with your diabetes doctor in Nerul if you think you might have diabetes, and get tested regularly if you are at risk.
