Question

Is Diabetes Type 2 considered a disability?

Answer 1

Type 2 diabetes can sometimes be considered a disability if the diabetes makes it hard for you to work a job.

So in some cases if the diabetes causes you more health problems and you have other existing medical conditions that make it hard for you to work a job then you can sometimes get approved for disability payments.

It's not easy to get disability payments for just diabetes including type 2 diabetes but it can sometimes be possible if you just keep pushing the issue.

A lot of people get denied disability payments at least a few times before they actually get approved and you should hire an experienced disability payment lawyer who can help you win the disability claim in court and get your disability payments.

Answer 2

Type 2 diabetes means that your body doesn't use insulin properly.

And while some people can control their blood glucose (blood sugar) levels with healthy eating and exercise, others may need medication or insulin to manage it.

With type 2 diabetes, the 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.

Although there's no cure for type 2 diabetes, studies show it's possible for some people to reverse it.

Through diet changes and weight loss, you may be able to reach and hold normal blood sugar levels without medication.

This doesn't mean you're completely cured.

Type 2 diabetes is an ongoing disease.

The main difference between the type 1 and type 2 diabetes is that type 1 diabetes is a genetic condition that often shows up early in life, and type 2 is mainly lifestyle-related and develops over time.

With type 1 diabetes, your immune system is attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas.
