Different types of diabetes?

can you get it if you have a low blood sugar level?
Answer:
Their are 2 kinds of diabetes. Type I diabetes is a result of decreased insulin production. Type II diabetes is a result of the body not responding to normal insulin levels. Type I is also called "juvenile diabetes" and is seen initially in young people. It can carry on into adulthood so you will see adults with type I. Type II usually starts later in life and is often a result of obesity. The body isn't as sensitive to insulin when it has a large amount of fat.
Low blood sugar happens when you're body is too sensitive to insulin (insulin makes blood sugar drop). This has nothing to do with diabetes. Its actually the opposite of diabetes because the insulin is doing its job in lowering the sugar level. Lots of young women have problems with overactive insulin production and as a result low blood sugar.

Low blood sugar can be a sign of diabetes. Or if you have not eaten for quite awhile. Type 1 is juvenile diabetes. It is an auto-immune disease that causes the body to attack the Langerhan cells in the pancreas. There is no cure but to administer insulin- as the pancreas cannot produce it . In type 2- there is insulin being released by the pancreas, but the body is not responding to it any longer or the pancreas is not producing enough insulin. This type can usually be diet controlled or be controlled with oral medications, although some do use a "sliding scale" of insulin. Hope this helped

You may, but not necessarily. You may just have hypoglycemia, and not end up with diabetes. See a doctor.Here is a website that can provide info on this for people who do and do not have diabetes:http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/hy...

Low blood sugar is called Hypoglycemia, the diet you follow is basically the same as diabetes. My glucose used to run low from time to time and now I have type 2, that doesn't mean it's going to happen to you.
Diabetes different types:Type 1 your body little or no insulinType 2 your body makes insulin but can't utilize it.Type 3 is a combination of 1 and 2Gestational diabetes can happen to a woman when she's pregnant even if she didn't have it before.
