Type one and type two are both diabetes. Type one is juvenile diabetes and is caused by non functioning isles of Langerhans which make insulin

Type two diabetes is caused by malfunctioning feedback systems to the isles of Langerhans and resistance to the insulin they excrete. Type two can, with work be controlled by diet and exercise in some people.

Thanks for that info.

Still, it sure seems to me that there are a lot of people being statistically classified as type 2 that are not really type 2.

Anyone can have spikes and drops by eating improperly. That doesn’t make them diabetic.
