~ I am under the understanding that type one diabetes is not a result of anything you did or did not do. Often it could be hereditary but it could happen otherwise as well. No body in my family has diabetes, not my grandparents or any one that I ever knew to have it. I think that when that is the case like it is with you and me that the doctors believe it is the result of a virus that attacks the pancreas. Type two diabetes on the other hand could also be hereditary, but could be a result of ones health, primarily obesity. In either case type two diabetics can more easily care for their diabetes with proper diet and exercise and with tat they can often but not always prevent it as well.

Its about my life as a diabetic. I discuss what it was like as a child and now an adult with diabetes, the good and the bad, the tricks I used to neglect my health and now to make it easier to care for. There is some forum for discussion, and there is always a question and answer section. This is designed primarily for diabetics, but is also a great place for a person who has a loved one, a friend or anyone else that has diabetes and they'd like to be more informed and "on top of it."
