between 90 and 95 % of all individuals with diabetes have type 2 diabetes and are over the age of 35 years. (Page 667).It is Cambridge University Press, the Cambridge World History of Human Disease, 1993. It is how they published and how they present what is diabetes?
So, really what is this about? There are pediatric diabetes and adult diabetes, right? Why it is DM type 1 or DM type2? Still not clear.
In contrast to type 1 diabetes cases, there are many cases (type2), (up to 50%) that remain in-diagnosed.So, if diabetic type 2 had already insufficient insulin secretion when one was under age of 16, but was not diagnosed with DT1 then why today it is type 2 diabetic? Just because of age 35+? Sounds very in-professional, and really far away from being Academic.
Type 2 produce insulin but may require more of it in order to manage their glucose levels.Still not clear, how much insulin humans need to meet demand for body to function? Type 1 diabetic's pancreas does not secret insulin at all, and they need less insulin then type 2 diabetic, right? So how it is discovered that one is type 1 diabetic whose pancreas does not secret insulin, or type 2 diabetic, whose pancreas secrete insulin , but the amount of insulin secreted is not sufficient for body to function?
So, if diabetic type 2 need more insulin to control blood sugar then why this type of diabetes classified as "Non-Insulin_Dependent Diabetes (Type 2 )? I Still do not get the point.
The majority of all patients are treated with dietary modifications, often with caloric reductions for weight loss, and with hypoglycemic tablets.So, if diabetic need insulin due to low insulin secretion, then .... then what? No insulin for type 2 diabetic, why? We are non-insulin dependent. I posted many times, reason does not apply for medical pro. They do have own logic, and no one without mental problems is able to get it.
This is book, text book, published by Cambridge University Press to teach student the History of Disease. It is more then 1000 pages. After poor student read all this professional logic, there is no room for reason. Brain perfectly washed.
Those symptoms, which include excessive urination,urine containing sugar, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and weight loss, are common to all types of DM.True? It depend. Say me, how diabetes diagnosed? According to the level of sugar in blood, regardless of what type of diabetes it is. How effectiveness of treatment checked up? A1c level, other blood test, the sugar in blood. At the same time diabetes, according to the Cambrige University Press, is :
"Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an endocrine disorder characterized by lack of insufficient production of insulin by the pancreases." (Page 665)So, why diagnose based on the level of sugar in blood? If any types of DM is endocrine disorder then why do not check up, how healthy pancreas before force it with SU to secret more insulin? What if pancreas is already in final stage of diabetes development and progression?
Also there is another problem. How to find out if treatment work or not? Sugar in blood cannot show is pancreas getting better or with treatment is is getting down. This is why diabetics type 2 gone less then withing ten years after treatment started, and type 1 diabetic who are on insulin therapy, live long and healthy lives. It is diabetes type 2 which stand on the spot number 7 on the row of leading causes of Death.
BTW, is this really true that we all do have DM? Not really. The sugar in urine is the stage when sugar in blood is very very high. If sugar in blood is above the normal it does not mean that there is sugar in urine. This is why when we come to hospital they found, sugar in blood is elevated, and can be really high, but there is still no sugar in urine, so we are not DM. At the same time when type 1 diabetic's urine would be tested, there is no sugar in urine. So, diabetes type 1 perfectly cured, right? They even do not have elevated level of sugar in blood, honeymoon phase. Many of them in this phase for the rest of the lives. They are type 1 diabetics, and they control blood sugar with right diet and work out. The question is why they did not control sugar before they started to take insulin shots but rushed to ER?
Well, to make long story shorter, why do not stop to diagnose diabetes with some symptoms which are difficult to apply to the abnormality in tissue, and start any diagnose with the health of pancreas, endocrine system? At least, it is diabetes, Endocrine System Disorder, according to Cambridge University presentation of diabetes. First thinks first. Let us at first diagnose what to treat, and only after that to apply medicine needed to fix the problem. Not vice versa.
