The foul smelling gas in diabetes is hydrogen sulfide which is a gas which smells like rotten eggs and is linked to diabetes.
Men that have type 2 diabetes have lower levels of hydrogen sulfide gas in their blood than men who are lean and healthy.
Hydrogen sulfide gas 2 is naturally produced in the body and also plays a role in the regulation of insulin production and dilating the blood vessels.
A diabetic belly is the buildup of visceral fat in your abdomen which can be a sign of type 2 diabetes.
The visceral fat is located deep within your abdomen and surrounds the organs and is harder to lose than subcutaneous fat.
Having diabetic belly can increase your risk of heart disease, breast cancer, stroke and early death.
Abdominal fat is a driving factor in the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and it can also affect how you manage your diabetes.
Diabetic spots look like oval or round red, brown or tan patches on your lower legs or other areas of the body.
The diabetic spots most often appear on the front of both legs.
The part of the body that itches with diabetes are the trunk, ankles, scalp, genitalia, lower legs and feet.
The backs of your hands, feet, arms, legs and buttocks also itch can have a rash with diabetes and more specifically Type 1 diabetes.
Firm and yellow pea sized skin bumps can occur with diabetes and they may itch and be encircled in red.
When you are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes it means that your body is not producing the needed insulin the body needs.
Your pancreas in type 1 diabetes progressively reduces the amount of insulin it produces until it ceases to make any insulin at all and if the amount of glucose in the blood is too high it can seriously damage organs over time.
With type 1 diabetes you will need to take long acting insulin often or if you don't take the insulin it can lead to diabetic coma, diabetic ketoacidosis and even death.
You may also need to use an insulin pump with type 1 diabetes to ensure you're getting the needed insulin.
The triggers of type 1 diabetes are an autoimmune reaction in which your body attacks itself by mistake and the reaction destroys the cells in your pancreas which make insulin that is called beta cells.
The process can go on for months and even years before any symptoms appear.
The leading cause of death in type 1 diabetes is End Stage Renal Disease or kidney failure, followed by diabetic ketoacidosis which can put you into a coma and then lead to death.
The life expectancy of a Type 1 diabetic is around 10 to 12 years less than those without Type 1 diabetes.
However if managed properly and you take care of yourself and administer the insulin as you should then you can live a long, active and full life with Type 1 diabetes.
Failure to take your insulin as directed with Type 1 diabetes can lead to a diabetic coma, diabetic Ketoacidosis and even death.
Type 1 diabetes is worse than type 2 diabetes and type 1 diabetes is more serious than type 2 diabetes as type 1 diabetes tends to develop a life threatening condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis.
The difference between diabetes type 1 and 2 is with diabetes type 1 the pancreas doesn't make insulin because the body's immune system attacks the islet cells in your pancreas which makes insulin.
In type 2 diabetes your pancreas makes less insulin than it used to and the body becomes resistant to insulin.
When you have type 1 diabetes and don't get any insulin death is very likely to occur and you have to stay on top of taking your insulin as needed or use an insulin pump.
Another difference between Type 1 and 2 diabetes is in how it develops.
With type 2 diabetes it's mainly caused by and develops as a result of your lifestyle such as not eating healthy, not getting enough exercise etc.
While Type 1 diabetes is genetic that often shows up early in life no matter what your lifestyle is.
When you have type 1 diabetes your immune system is attacking and also destroying your insulin producing cells that are in your pancreas.
The way you treat diabetes type 2 is through insulin and diabetic medications as well as blood sugar monitoring, managing your weight, regular exercise, healthy eating and staying active.
Type 2 diabetes is caused by the cells in your muscle, fat and liver becoming resistant to insulin.
And because these cells do not interact in the normal way they should with insulin they don't take in enough needed sugar.
Then the pancreas is not able to produce enough insulin to manage your blood sugar levels.
Type 2 diabetes cannot be cured although through staying active, eating healthy and managing your type 2 diabetes with medication the symptoms can improve and prevent it from getting worse and causing other serious complications.
Type 2 diabetes is a serious condition that is usually lifelong and there's no cure for type 2 diabetes but treatments can help manage the type 2 diabetes to keep it from getting worse.
Without treatment the type 2 diabetes can cause high sugar levels in your blood to seriously damage parts of your body such as feet, heart and eyes.
Being a type 2 diabetic means that you have an impairment in the way your body regulates and uses it's natural sugar (glucose) as a fuel.
This long-term (chronic) condition also results in too much sugar circulating in the bloodstream.
And eventually the high blood sugar levels can lead to disorders of the circulatory, nervous and immune systems.
With type 2 diabetes, your body either doesn't produce enough insulin, or it resists insulin.
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision.
In some cases, there may be no symptoms.
Treatments for type 2 diabetes include diet, exercise, medication, and insulin therapy.
If you don't treat diabetes type 2 it can lead to other health issues such as damaged blood vessels, damaged nerves and damaged organs due to high glucose levels.
Diabetes type 2 when left untreated could even lead to death.
Reversing type 2 diabetes takes around 3 months to 6 months.
Once you change your diet, take the required medications and stay active you should see the results of reversing your diabetes within 3 months to 6 months.
You can live a long and healthy life with type 2 diabetes as long as you eat healthy, stay active, take the medications that are needed and keep and eye on your blood sugar levels.
Many people live long and otherwise healthy lives with type 2 diabetes and they also stay active as well.
Stress cannot and does not cause type 2 diabetes or other diabetes.
However stress can increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes because high levels of stress hormones can stop insulin producing cells in your pancreas from working as they should which reduces the amount of insulin they produce.
Type 2 diabetes is sometimes caused by a poor diet as well as lack of exercise.
To help prevent diabetes and type 2 diabetes you should always exercise, walk, jog, run etc as often as you can and also eat a healthy diet.
Not eating healthy and staying inactive puts you at risk of developing type 2 diabetes as well as other diabetes and health issues.
Type two diabetes as well as type two diabetes is genetic and you can get the genes passed down to you from your mother or father that has diabetes.
Genetics have been found to play a very strong role in people developing type 2 diabetes.
Those at risk for type 2 diabetes are people age 45 or over and for people who have a family history of diabetes.
Also those who have a poor diet, are not very active or don't get enough exercise and eat healthy are more at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
