By age 50, somewhere between 1 in 14 and 1 in 10 according to 2006 statistics.

Pre-diabetes, and type two diabetes are becoming more and more common these days in teens and adults alike. To find out why, just look at the low incidence of type two diabetes among civilizations that still live off the land instead of wolfing down artificially prepared, non-natural foods like we have adopted here in the U.S. and other developed countries. In India, the incidence is even higher than here. The only exceptions are in the rural communities that still grow their own foods.

very low, unless you are grossly overweight, which can cause type 11 diabetes

Hey I’m 16 and I have had it for over a year and no one in my immediate family has it. It also has a lot to do with your medical history.

type 1 diabetics have to take insulin shots for life and and get mainly by bad genes(bad luck). type 2 diabetics can take pills and really just have to watch what they eat and they will be able to live a normal life, type 2 diabetics get it mainly because of their poor eating, exercising habits. yes it is normal for them to lose weight because she didn’t have any insulin in her so her body convert her sugar into energy so it started to use her fat for energy.
-hope this answers your questions.-

ok, my younger brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 9 (he’s 13 now) so I’ve had to answer this question numerous times.
Basically, type 1 diabetes occurs mostly in children, it does not go away, and (so far) there is no cure. It happens when the pancreas stops producing insulin, which is needed to regulate blood sugar levels. People with type 1 have to take insulin (my brother does 4 shots a day) and check their blood sugar levels a lot to prevent hypoglycemia(low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia(high blood sugar). Diet needs to be monitored, however most of the time you can still have sugar and all that as long as its monitored and accounted for when giving insulin. Symptoms are: weight loss, extreme thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, fatigue, irritability, etc.
My brother lost a ton of weight before he was diagnosed, and could have gone into a coma. (His glucose level was almost 900, a normal level is 90-120)

ok, well i dont know as much about type 2, but i do know it usually occurs in people who are overweight. Their pancreas can still produce insulin, but the body no longer uses it correctly. People with type 2 usually dont need insulin injections (most take a pill) and it can be treated and somewhat cured by careful diet and weight loss. (Meaning they no longer have to take medication for it, but it’s possible they will need to again).

ok, well i hope that helps a little bit!

I you r over weight u have an increased chance and u need to excersise.

Type one is genetic and you cant help it and type two is when you are over weight.

DAMAGE FROM DIABETES

Damage to the retina from diabetes (diabetic retinopathy) is a leading cause of blindness.
Damage to the kidneys from diabetes (diabetic nephropathy) is a leading cause of kidney failure.
Damage to the nerves from diabetes (diabetic neuropathy) is a leading cause of foot wounds and ulcers, which frequently lead to foot and leg amputations.
Damage to the nerves in the autonomic nervous system can lead to paralysis of the stomach (gastroparesis), chronic diarrhea, and an inability to control heart rate and blood pressure with posture changes.
Diabetes accelerates atherosclerosis, or the formation of fatty plaques inside the arteries, which can lead to blockages or a clot (thrombus), which can then lead to heart attack, stroke, and decreased circulation in the arms and legs (peripheral vascular disease).
Diabetes predisposes people to high blood pressure and high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These independently and together with hyperglycemia increase the risk of heart disease, kidney disease, and other blood vessel complications.
Many infections are associated with diabetes, and infections are frequently more dangerous in someone with diabetes because the body’s normal ability to fight infections is impaired. To compound the problem, infections may worsen glucose control, which further delays recovery from infection.

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be TOTALLY CORRECTED with diet and exercise. That means that you don’t have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don’t have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Best of luck.

i have just been diagnosed with it. for the past 4 months i have been having bouts of what seem like the stomach flu. i would get a headache and be very tierd for a day or two and then i would throw up and have stomach cramps. i do honestly believe it has something to do with my bloodsugar.i have been told by a few people that those are not symptoms but i know that i am not getting the flu 2 times a month for 4 months straight.i knew i had high blood sugar cause when i would eat carbs and sweets i would get a racing heartbeat and feel irritable and just icky. my mom has a meeter so i check it and it was in the 220-300 range. my doctor didnt believe me at first and just blew me off and told me the nausea and headaches where just from being pregnant. this is my 3rd so i knew something was different. i had them do the glucose test over a month early and it turns out i was right. so listen to your instincts. and i DO BELIEVE that it can make you feel like you have the flu.

there’s a 5 to 10 percent chance of getting diabetes most teens don’t get diabetes but as you get older its easier to get
