Really Know Your Diabetes Type?

You May Be Surprised

 

When you were diagnosed, you were probably told you had either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Clear-cut and tidy. Since diabetes occurs in two types, you have to fit into one of them. Many people do fit clearly into one of these categories, but some do not. Those who clearly fit a type at diagnosis may find the

clear lines begin to smudge over time.

 

Are there really only two types?

Are you really the type you were told you were?

Could you even have more than one type of diabetes, and is your original diagnosis still correct after all these years?

 

Misdiagnosis or an unclear diagnosis of diabetes can create problems in treatment. Misunderstanding the causes and changes in the disease as you age also can lead to mistreatment. For these reasons, a clear understanding of the types of diabetes is essential.

Wise Tips

Traditional herb gardens were often grown in the shape of a circle reflecting the concept of holism with an all-inclusive never-ending design. Sometimes an old cartwheel was used, so the spokes naturally created separate sections, with different herbs growing in each space. A small circular chamomile lawn was often grown in the center.
